THAT is probable a bigger obstacle to Win penetration than any other
single factor.
It's hard to appreciate the how many companies depend on ActiveX until
you work for one, but once you get a feel for how and how many companies
are using it it's undeniably a show-stopper for many sales.
Imagine if a Mac app didn't support even the most rudimentary Apple
events. While ActiveX is not a requirement, no serious Win dev tool
exists without support for it.
