Version 1.5
COM+ is the next evolution of Microsoft Component Object Model (COM) and Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). COM+ builds on and extends applications written using COM, MTS, and other COM-based technologies. COM+ handles many of the resource management tasks that developers previously had to program, such as thread allocation and security.
COM+ can be used to develop enterprise-wide, mission-critical, distributed applications based on the Microsoft Windows operating system platform.
COM+ is designed primarily for Microsoft Visual C++ and Microsoft Visual Basic developers. It can also be used to manage and deploy applications.
COM+ version 1.5 ships with and requires either Microsoft Windows XP or one of the Windows Server 2003 operating system. COM+ version 1.0 ships with and requires Microsoft Windows 2000.
