Why should I learn COM?

Lately I'm hearing much about COM at my work. I also learnt that "COM is old. COM is deprecated. There is no future for COM." Are these true, too?

I want to learn COM because I want to know what is the big fuss about it, but I'm unable to convince myself that this is a solid reason for spending so much time and learning it.

So, can any one tell me:

  1. Why should I learn COM?
  2. Once I learn COM what applications can I use it for?
Solution

  • I just don't see COM going away any time soon. If you want to be a windows expert, you must understand how it works.
