WHAAT ?
Did I missed something ??? - Microsoft Office and many other programms reveal their internal functionality as a COM component to other programms - So If I sell "my programm(which accesses COM)" my users also have to buy Office (a normal license!!!) - so its in interest of Microsoft to offer a COM Interface !
I start to hate this crap Navigation-programm market... but MS comes and will wipe those crap out I am sure - Its not a real wonder that Billy is sooo rich !!! HE has the right concepts !
David:
do you have to pay something for the COM Object (per Client which uses it) ?
(anything additional to the normal GUI Destinator License)
If yes I will let the guys at Destinator what my opinion about that is
