From what I can see, they want to group all the script/batch files into a single XML file.  Something like this:
 
<file name="file1">
  <code type="vbs">
    msgbox("Do Something")
  </code>
</file>
<file name="file2">
  <code type="DOS">
    copy a.txt b.txt
  </code>
</file>
 
then have a system that will read this file, and allow an easier selection of scripts to run/manage.  The first sentance of the patent claim's abstract is pretty unfortunate, but if you read through the rest of the abstract, it's not as bad as it initially seems.
 
I don't know if I would ever write code like this - the management of it would be a nightmare.  But, that's MS for you.

Is this a good thing or a bad thing.  Wait... it's MS... Oh no.
