To provide you with the most modern and efficient options, we are replacing VBScript with more advanced alternatives such as JavaScript and PowerShell. Find out what VBScript deprecation means for you and how you can get ready. What's the word for reading an obituary when you thought the feature was already dead?
There has to be one of those long German words for it?
That sound you hear is a couple of ASP classic websites about to go dark.

So will the Windows Scripting Host also be depreciated. It's the VBScript engine for Windows.

It would probably have to - it sounds like they're pulling the DLL, so that would kill all those.
They have been pushing WSH users for a while to go to PowerShell. That's a bumpy transition.

Agreed. Especially since WSH's libraries are drop dead simple to use.

My plan to ignore VBScript paid off! (Okay, they pay was poor, but...)

Excuse me?! 
IIRC, that only ever worked in Internet Explorer. Given the limited reach, I don't think it was "often" used in HTML even back in the 90s. In the words of The Big Yin[^], I'd be "shocked and stunned, and more than a little amazed" if anyone was still using it in HTML today.

I was thinking/hoping that was a poor description of ASP Classic. But I might be giving them too much credit.

Sometime between May and September, a white dwarf is expected to go thermonuclear. "Blame it on the bossa nova"

Good job they specified it's a white dwarf. If it were a red dwarf, I'd blame it on Cat[^].

Low-code tool kit for creating custom copilots will also gain connectors that allow copilots to use various data sources including public websites. Instead of having AI write your code, write no code to run your AI

Whatever the f*** would be wrong with a simple statement such as "Copilot toolkit will allow you to use many different data sources, such as public websites, to build custom Large Language Models."???? Infoworld now run by CEOs, and thrives on 'technospeak'?

A language written by space lizard Nazis? No thank you.
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.
