<Searching the developers section in NSCP for CORBA finds 100+ documents. Searching for OLE finds 29.>

You are getting your info from NSCP's site, I am getting mine from the guys who actually spend the money for development. Visit micromodeling.com, tisny.com (these are the guys that I went to before I decided to develop my stuff in-house), or any random sampling of integration consultants and see how much CORBA stuff is on thier site as compared to MSFT technonlogy. You can't make money by talking about technology and posting it on a site, you have to sell it to get paid.

<I don't typically use spreadsheets>

Most of the guys that spend the money do, Word processing and Database apps.

<I would never download something that had executable code in it and just run it, unless I was very sure of the security model of the application.>

Most of the users of corporate intranets do, the security is a given if it on the net and behing the firewall.

<But their use of CORBA ensures their interoperability with a wider variety of applications both local and across the network, and across a wider variety of platforms.>

Maybe so, but it also assures less functionality across the most profitable, adn ubiquitous segment of applications, both local and across the network (Windows apps). NSCP is for profit the last time I checked.

<Why don't I just acknowledge that you are an expert in everything you've ever read about in Windows world, and we'll agree to disagree on yet another point.>

This comes from experience, not web sites or magazines. Can you honestly say the same Justin? Why do you think I decided to spend my rather meager resources on MSFT rather than NSCP development?
