COM+ - what is that? WHat kind of problems is that supposed to solve. Wasn't it "self-registration". All these geeky names - what was the point! These things were ALL big positives - all the marqui speakers lauded them as a break through.

Now that all the marqui super geeks received their .NET marching orders from the buffet rooms in Redmond - all of this stuff - like VFP MTDLL and COM+ - are somehow meaningless blunders of a wacky MS strategy in the days of yore!

I read one of Ricks papers from the era - wow - it's the greatest thing since ankle leashes and slip-check! And now it's all being played down like a bad dream.

Hard to follow!
