Not really. How can something compete with a thing that wasn't out at the
time of it's introduction. And if you'd like to get _really_ technical, go
take a look at the Open Group's DCE specification and see how much of
COM/COM+ you see there. Answer: all of it. It's a __direct__ ripoff.

Well, in this case, I'd have to say not, since most big Web applications
are still powered by either C or Perl. I'm talking __really__ big ones,
here, not middle-tier big. For instance, cdnow.com is powered by all
FastCGI C executables on an IBM S/390. Java has had some big ones lately,
but that's only lately. Remember, J2EE isn't that old (but then again,
neither is the Web :)
