CORBA stands for "Common Object Request Broker Architecture" and is used as an standard architecture to allow Distributed Computing Applications communicate effectively via an Object Oriented concept. MSFT - following its well rehersed practice of attempting to mutating or stop any non-propriatary consepts/technologies/products that they cannot control - has developed their own alternative to CORBA. This is called COM and DCOM. Of course DCOM fits very well into the WinTel technologies. Beyond that, I am not willing to venture. I know what it is, what its for, and the basics of how it works, and why its so important. Someone with more indepth involvement could add or modify this. But the important thing to note is that IBM recently has begun moving much of their networked application code onto the MSFT NT server platform which will not want to follow any CORBA or pure Java compliancy. A mistake in my mind for IBM. Toy
