BAT files are very dangerous, becuase they're loosely controlled and very underutilized - I'd be willing to bet you could find 1000s of people who wrote Perl scripts to delete files not modified in a given number of days; including their "oops" moments that lead to entire server deletion (and nicely enough, workarounds to avoid those situations)

But I think you'd be hard pressed to find 10 people who'd written windows bat scripts to do the same..
