i haven't worked with WSH in a gaming environment, but have used it to execute scripts from within internet explorer in a production environment. Although i haven't used it with anything that was time critical.
Its quite cool, and has easily replaced batch files on my machine.
if you haven't already done so, check out:

I believe I've mentioned this before somewhere (so forgive me if I sound like a broken record 
), but why settle for a slow scripting language, when you might as well use a full fledged programming language such as Java?
It has got many of the virtues of scripting languages but none of the flaws! It's dead easy to write a DLL with the core game, and then write the game logic in Java using that DLL - it won't be platform independent but that wasn't the issue anyway.
Java takes a lot of the fuzz out of OO programming (in particular all the memory B.S.), it's very intuitive, and it's fast...
(No, I don't work for SUN )

I wanted to know though, has anyone else used the WSH for game development? (or will i be the first? MWUAHAHAHHA!) Basically I want to use it for config files and pre-calculated AI scripts... that sort of stuff. Any ideas on how fast the sucker is or how to detect if the WSH is even installed on someone's computer and if it's not, how to fail gracefully?
