Please don't hurt me for this one, but I know of one plan for the "run
every interpreted language VM" :
Windows Script Host ( aka: "I am the thing that lets vbs viruses cause a
billion dollars worth of damage in a few days")

Both Microsoft Visual Basic development system Scripting Edition
(VBScript) and Microsoft JScript development system scripting engines are
provided with Windows Scripting Host. Other software companies will
provide ActiveX scripting engines for languages such as Perl, TCL, REXX,
Python, and others..
