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 think momentum has shifted to SOAP and other web service technology because it is:

• easier to deploy systems in the presence of firewalls
• no vendor lock-in

I've never used DCOM myself, so I can't really comment on its general quality or fitness.
