Why would microsoft put effort into developing attributed programming for VC++ 7, which provides a much easier way to create COM components, if they were intending to kill it immediately?.NET is set up to be the successor of COM, but COM seems to be very much alive in the realm of unmanaged C++.
This system seems quite biased against lefties -- not only are they forced to play with their weaker hand, but their dominant hand is taking the punishment.
