Contrary to popular belief, COM isn't Windows-specific. There are several other implementations including Mozilla's XPCOM (no relation to Windows XP). MS also released a Mac version and commissioned a Unix implementation. The basic idea of COM, IUnknown etc. could be implemented on any platform, but is most widely used on Windows. --Nate
