What's wrong with DCOM?

Question

There seems to be a lot of enmity against DCOM, and I\'m curious to understand why. For a company still writing to the Win32 SKD using C++, is there any real reason not to use D

Answer 1

1. Security model. Especially when computers are not in the same domain (or aren't in domain at all).
2. Auto interfaces modeled for Visual Basic (original, not .NET), obsolete and not pretty to use from other languages.

If you only want to develop in C++ and deploy in controlled network, it may still be a good choice.
