Whoa, that's fucking awesome! I've always shied away from COM for anything other than the boilerplate to init DirectX, but that's just...wow!

That should be in Phobos!

Most of his code isn't available as it was kind of under Microsoft. However I revived Juno for D2 awhile ago (still need to play with it myself). Juno provides some nice tools and API, I don't think the licensing allows for Boost though.

Well, since Windows 2000 the amount of COM only APIs have been increasing,
so most languages have to have some kind of COM bindings.

I really find nice that D offers such integration with COM.
