What is ActiveX?
"ActiveX is the consumer brand name for all Microsoft COM-based technologies.... Tylenol is an easy-to-remember, more consumer-friendly brand name for a drug called Acetaminophen. In this same way, ActiveX is an easy-to-remember, more consumer-friendly name for COM. ActiveX certainly sounds much cooler than COM.
The reason so many people are confused by the name ActiveX is because the definition changed. Originally ActiveX was a brand name for all COM-based Microsoft technologies that had utility on the World Wide Web."
---- Alan Gordon (The COM and COM+ Programming Primer)
