Unfortunately this tradition of including a beginner-friendly programming language with the OS stopped somewhere in the nineties. Under DOS, there was GW-BASIC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GW-BASIC), the Amiga had AmigaBASIC (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AmigaBASIC - which however did not support the full range of multimedia features, and was only available until AmigaOS 1.3), but Windows 3.1 didn't include a programming language anymore. Arguably smartphones and tablets have increased this barrier of entry even further, because you need a separate PC/Mac to develop software for them.
