" the vaporware "object-oriented operating system" concepts”

COM is Windows and COM is about as purely object oriented as you can get. It's not vaporware.




COM can be said to be overly complicated (at least not as bad a CORBA). I think WinMD is a step in the right direction, but both COM and WinMD are userland constructs and neither particularly pervade the OS (e.g. you can't pipe COM objects)
