Forgive my ignorance, but is this entirely correct?

>>a bridge that passes COM objects into CORBA environments and vice versa,<<

Does the COM/CORBA bridge allow for CORBA components to be passed into a COM environment?

Certainly COM applications can access data from a CORBA server in this fashion, but does the bridge allow CORBA components to "live" in the COM world?

re: MTS/OTM. It looks like a smart move on Microsoft's part to co-opt Iona in this fashion - they will be able to move the logical "hand-off" point of a client transaction further up the food chain. Can't immediately see much in it for Iona - can someone out there enlighten me?
