I actually never really used COM objects, because they were simply not usable in my Delphi applications I wrote at the time.
Now I use C# to develop all my applications and it made it possible to build applications far greater than I had imagined before. (Well, ok... I did a study computer science too...)
But those stupid things like cleaning up pointers and memory aren't really a good job to do for a developer like me
I really like the new presentation framework of longhorn. After installing it and playing around. I really got the feeling that working with XAML is a lot easier than writing all that code.
Is there an editor on it's way for creating XAML windows? That would be even better, since learning all the tags can be a bit of a hassle.
Great stuff the Windows XP embedded. If I take it right, I will be able to build, say a cashregister with the embedded version of Windows XP. So I would only need a compact flash card and a PC108 motherboard to be able to boot this thing.

There's one thing I would like to point out: What's with the + in the titles of some tags and postings? Shouldn't this be a space ?
