The lack of replies should tell you everything. No coder under 40 knows this retarded DEC-originated Microsoft shit, and it's just a bad memory from the 1990's for those over 40.

Of course, it's still in Windows, under the hood. If you look in the Class ID areas of the Registry, they are densely populated.

I'm 37 and I know about it.  But I avoid it like the fucking plague.  The first time I encountered that shit was the first time I started to have doubts about OOP in general.
