Tcl and C the tools of choice for the discriminating hacker!

git and gitk are made in Tcl and C, and git is nowadays considered to be the new linux, so thats my proof

and why is VBScript up there!

If you're going to build in PHP, vbscript/ASP would be the MS equivalent. Interesting to note though that nobody is using the granddaddy of inline web scripting anymore...

IMO, if MS would have open-sourced ASP when PHP started to come out, they would have that market.

git itself doesn't link against Tcl afaik. Still, though, it's a cool language that doesn't get enough love.
