All the above are terms for basically the same thing. COM, DCOM, COM+
and ActiveX are pretty much synonyms. OLE was a predecessor of COM.
And all continue to work in the latest version of Visual studio (heck
you can still program a windows application using an event loop if you
want to. But why?) I look at it as more of a (well directed) evolution
than a platform shift. I consider a platform shift more like moving
from C to C++ or the jump to COM. But to each his/her own. If you see
that as a platform shift, then so be it.
