Could I make an appeal to you not to write code that is locked to a
single platform (e.g. COM). We take great pains to make GIS run on all
platforms and using proprietary technology such as COM undermines this
effort and perpetuates Microsofts monopoly....

Of course it also cuts your potential user base to just those using
windows when you could be making software that us millions of Linux QGIS
could enjoy too...
