| Microsoft call it "ActiveScript". The same API for
| "VBScript", "JavaScript" and "PerlScript" (yes, Perl).
| Part of their ASP model.

  You don't have to use ASP at all.  You could probably do it with
  just Perl and Win32::OLE (or whatever that is called) with Apache.

| And not real scalable either. Can you imagine the
| /. effect pounding this thing? Urrrrgly!

  :)

| They may have access to Word Viewer, of course. Does
| Word Viewer include macro support? Anyone?

  I don't think so.  That is, I am pretty sure it doesn't include it.
