JavaScript or JScript on Server-Side?

[vunet]

Sorry for this generic question and I have read the differences of
JavaScript and JScript on server side, however, I want to hear what
experts think about what to choose when programming ASP pages in one
of these two options.
I understand it may have to do with what the needs are. But let's say
I want to build a basic web application with database connectivity,
file system management, and a little bit of OOP for setting things up,
etc.
Though both will work for these needs but there has to be a statement
why this may be better than that...
Will all Microsoft servers by default support any of these languages
if I, say, want to distribute my application to various customers?
Thank you.

There is no question.

AFAIK there is no choice with ASP (.NET). It only supports JScript (.NET)
as ECMAScript implementation.

I understand it may have to do with what the needs are. But let's say
I want to build a basic web application with database connectivity,
file system management, and a little bit of OOP for setting things up,
etc.

I would be surprised if any of these requirements has anything to do with
the choice of the programming language. It is the server-side environment
that needs to provide the API instead.

Internet Information Server/Services with ASP (.NET) extensions supports
JScript (.NET). Netscape Enterprise Server-compatible Web servers support
Server-side JavaScript.

if I, say, want to distribute my application to various customers?

Are your customers Web developers who want to use a server-side script
library written by you?

Internet Information Server/Services with ASP (.NET) extensions supports

Server-side JavaScript.

Are you saying additional component installation needs to happen to
support server-side JavaScript?

No, my customers may be uneducated users who know nothing about
technology.
