Yes, that's true.

Using an interpreted language included in Windows, for a sub-100 kB file
everyone can view/edit/correct is a clear advantage, and it doesn't
scare people away (think of what I've written about adamoto, which
depended on perl/java/tomcat/etc.).
Not having to install any 3rd party stuff is nice, too (well, there is a
WPKG Client now, but it's not obligatory, and I think/hope most users
like it).

Having said that, JScript is not very portable - I would still like to
have something comparable to WPKG for administering multiple Linux
machines. Any takers? :)
