| Definition
| COM is a Microsoft software architecture for building component-based applications. COM objects are discrete components with unique identities accessed through interfaces. COM objects feature built-in interprocess communications capability, are language independent, and suit Object-Oriented Design (OOD). Released in 1993 with OLE2, COM was designed to replace the interprocess communication mechanism of Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) and OLE.
