COM (Component Object Model) is Microsoft's standard for building enterprise applications that run over a network or the Internet. COM+ is an enhanced version of the standard for Windows 2000 applications. COM competes with the CORBA and Enterprise JavaBeans standards and allows developers to tie together components built using different languages, such as C++ and Visual Basic. Many corporate developers want to learn how to use COM+ because of Microsoft's strength in the market and the growth of Windows 2000.
