I think this is may have merit as a direction for Revolution to go.

The "do" command already has a scripting language option.  Perhaps 
there is a reasonable general way to expand that for Windows.

Hmm.  Despite the fact I have a couple Windows scripting references on 
the self and I have used them, I'm not sure this is actually handy, but 
I expect it would be.

In some sense it would create a sort of platform parity.

And I have no idea how this fits into the MS vision of the future.
