This is a silly pseudo-discussion, but I continue it for fun. ;-) COM, OLE and ActiveX are not the same thing. COM is an object component model, OLE is an extension of that for document objects, and ActiveX is a set of technologies of which COM and OLE are some. It's not exactly a drastic name change of what is basically the same. Maybe MS have done that from time to time, but it's definitely not something they do very often. Examples of when things have changed name is when PCMCIA changed name to PC-card. They have had to live with both names forever. I can't think of any product wh has had a successful name change after it's widespread release. -- Lennart Regebro, Nuxeo http://www.nuxeo.com/ CPS Content Management http://www.cps-project.org/ _______________________________________________ Zope3-dev mailing list Zope3-dev@zope.org Unsub: http://mail.zope.org/mailman/options/zope3-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
