OH ohhh. .NET objects on windows automatically are COM objects? That's
not true. There is no COM in .net. But you can wrap up your .net
classes as COM objects. But like I said before. I would hate to go
through COM to get from .net to java. Would be nice to leave .net as
COM free as it is. It's bad enough that we have to fight all that COM
legacy stuff with COM interop (thank god it's possibly though). :-D
