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

I implemented a large system using DCOM in the late 90's. Although it worked pretty well, there were a couple of issues. For starters it uses unpredictable port numbers for communication. It is not scalable, and you are much better off using WCF than DCOM.
