Experience has taught the microsoft cannot be trusted. as all "portable" things microsoft created will actually work completely only in windows. anyway - i don't see any sense in using it if you are not forced to use windows. if you are - it would be better to use windows for that. >> 2.

And it depends scripting language are not made to be fast running, but to "mix" many other programs to get result fast and easy. > more on the interpreter of the language in question than on the host > OS. Of course compiled languages can run faster than interpreted ones. as on every OS.
