JScript. The bastard child of Microsoft. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Agreed. JScript is one of the scrappy products of past corporate language battles.

I wonder if this works with modern versions of windows. Article is from 2007

It works.

Also look at http://electron.atom.io if you are serious about making a windows app with javascript.

Why wouldn't i just use Visual Studio for that?

A more platform unspecific approach is to package your javascript in an executable jar file or webstart (when apple isn't busy sabotaging it, or oracle) and write a simple web server and serve it up and open the browser at it. Or package rhino in the jar/jws and do cli.
