  VBScript - a definition from Whatis.com
VBScript is an interpreted script language from Microsoft that is a subset of its Visual Basic programming language designed for interpretation by Web browsers.
In general, script languages are easier and faster to code in than the more structured, compiled languages such as C and C++ and are ideal for smaller programs of limited capability or that can reuse and tie together existing compiled programs.
VBScript is designed for use with Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser together with other programming that can be run at the client, including ActiveX controls, automation servers, and Java applets.

 VBScript in a Nutshell: Chapter 2: Program Structure
As you can see, while loosely typed languages like VBScript have many advantages, one of their major drawbacks is the fact that you must be on your guard for rogue data at all times.
In VBScript, classes must be created in the scripts where you want to use them or they must be included in the scripts that use them.
Since VBScript isn't compiled, you don't have the advantage of being able to write a set of VBScript COM classes that are usable outside of the scripts in which they're defined, or that can be easily accessed by programs and scripts written in other languages.

 O'Reilly Network -- VBScript or Perl?
Ultimately I decided to use VBScript because it is the least common denominator as far as scripting languages go on the Windows platform (besides batch files, of course).
Because VBScript comes out of the box with Windows and was developed by Microsoft, naturally there is better support for it; not only by Microsoft, which documents VBScript extensively on the Microsoft Developer Network (MSDN), but also on other non-Microsoft web sites.
VBScript has command line parsing support as long as you put your code in a WSF file.

 WDVL: Back to Basics: VBScript for ASP
It means that unlike your standard C++ or Visual Basic type code, scripting languages like Perl, VBScript, JavaScript/JScript, and others, do not have to be run through a compiler (something that translates our human-readable code into code the machine can understand) to be executed or run.
VBScript (which stands for Visual Basic Script) works pretty much the same way except it takes its syntax base from its parent language — the full blown and compiler dependent Visual Basic.
When we get into VBScript for ASP, we will be dealing with server-side scripting, so performance will be a function of the Web server we are using.

 Amazon.com: Learning VBScript: Books: Paul Lomax   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
With the advent of client-side scripting, it is possible to create programs that run on a user's browser in response to particular user actions, like passing the mouse over a hyperlink or clicking a standard HTML command button.
By accessing the events, properties, and methods exposed by the browser's object model, VBScript is transformed from a fairly powerless programming language into a powerful development tool that can be used to control the browser, allowing the creation of complex interactive web pages.
It's accessible to a novice (which I was when I first bought it) but has enough depth and richness of information to still be used as a reference guide now that I have over 5 years of experience.
