I imagine that there is some English as a second language getting 
involved and the intent of the question was more like "What is 
python useful for on Windows?", which has pretty much the same 
meaning but is open to a slightly friendlier interpretation(i.e., 
tell me how I can use python instead of tell me why I should use 
python).

The other question might be more like "I already know VBS, what do I 
gain by learning python?".

(the answers could be "lots of things, including full applications" 
and "among other things, you can use it on other platforms, and you 
might prefer the syntax".)
