Microsoft and OMG: Friends or Foes?

by Michael Guttman, Jason Matthews

In 1995, in a unanimous vote, the Object Management Group endorsed a specification for interoperability between OMG's Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA) and Microsoft's Common Object Model (COM). The specification, known as CORBA/COM Interworking (CCI), is now implemented by dozens of products in use by thousands of end users. These CCI-based products already solve a very practical and ubiquitous problem facing today's software developers -- how to incorporate CORBA-based service components into COM-based client applications on Windows
platforms.
