>>Currently, the IIS pool manager destroys and recreates the object on each method call, but I expect that soon, the objects will live in a real pool, and we will not even be able to count on the Init method running every time your object is "created"<<

Only C++ COM objects (netural threading, I think) can take advantage of the new object pooling in COM+. Apartment threaded objects like VB and VFP will have to be brought up to this standard. I wouldn't expect this very soon.
