I am wondering how this is different to a script written in some VB derivative via the WSH. Surely that has just as much danger potential?

I don't know what sort of sandboxing VB has available, but it probably does have just as many problems. This places Win32 sysadmins in a tough spot--*nix people have been nagging on Windows to get proper scripting support for years, and now that they have it, they're forced to shut it off because of the massive security holes it creates.
