Hi,

A quick question, can anyone name all the languages which are preloaded in windows, like Batch - VBScript (VBS) but are there more. Thanks!

Also tell me what would you want to see preloaded into Windows in future if they make any

What do you mean "preloaded"?

All I know about is Batch and VBS, like you said.

I'm guessing it means what languages are ready to be used for programming in a fresh windows install. For example, there is the C runtime lib but no compiler, so that doesn't count.

The Windows Script Host supports JScript, as well as VBScript, by default.

I prefer choosing what I want to install. Visual Studio is not really lightweigth and a Windows system is already big as it is now.
