Agree. Also, while I was working with MSVC6, I made a couple of ActiveX libraries and when I saw my 3D controls actually work EVERYWHERE from C programs to word documents and HTML pages, I was amazed. The whole "custom control" ecosystem was very intriguing at that time. I remember Borlnd competing with their "components", too :) Still love the portability of COM.
