Doesn't surprise me.

What else are you going to use? Batch? Python certainly hadn't caught on yet in the late 90's when XP was being written.

In 2013 when I was interning for a company making an audio driver for Windows, we used Perl to run our builds. While I hate Perl, it does make it real easy to run an executable and analyze its output.



I suppose it shouldn't surprise me, I'd just expect Microsoft to eat a little more of their own dogfood.
