Striving to convince developers that its server-side object model
is king, Microsoft at its TechEd user conference in New Orleans in June will detail how forthcoming tools upgrades from Microsoft and other vendors can be used to build Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) components.
As part of the effort, Microsoft will reveal new licensees for its Component Object Model (COM) technology, including object request broker vendor Inprise (formally Borland), according to sources close to the company.

With the announcement of Version 6.0 of its Visual C++ and Visual Basic tools, plus Version 6.0 of its Visual Studio tools suite, the company is aiming to simplify the process of building server-based distributed COM objects, according to Microsoft officials.
Meanwhile, the company is enlisting support of third-party tools
vendors such as ..., INPRISE, and ... division to include
features for easily creating and deploying server-based COM objects
in their tools.
