At the Tomb of the IUnknown Interface [ via Sam Gentile's Weblog ]

Verity Stob says Bye-Bye to COM in this as usual great article. British Programing Humor at its best.

Sam is singing "Bye Bye Miss American Pie". Well, I am not sure if I can sing that song or not. I am still coding ASP based applications and most of the times COM/COM+ is what constitutes the middleware. There's some more time for me to evolve doing VB.Net/ASP.Net. But yes, I've started humming the chorus part:

So, bye-bye, Miss American Pie

     drove my chevy to the levee

but the levee was dry,

     and them good old boys were 

drinkin' whiskey and rye

     singin' this'll be the day that I die,

this'll be the day that I die.
