   Yes. I used to have two VBS books from '95 or '96.
They pre-dated CreateObject and only adressed the
browser DOM. One of them explained that VBS would
be supported in all browsers very soon. :)

  I'm not sure when the COM tie-in happened -- whether
WSH came first or ActiveX controls came first. Probably
the latter. And the rest is bad browser security history.
