Have you thought about moving your Visual Basic applications towards a distributed environment? Two-tier client/server applications can only scale so far. When they require more resources, will you be ready? Now is the perfect time to prepare yourself for the inevitable challenge of moving or creating applications for a multi-tier distributed environment. The key to building distributed applications is COM. Microsoft has made COM and COM+ a cornerstone of Windows DNA and Windows .NET.
