In a multiple resource manager/DTC case - agreed. But in the simple case of a single RM it's probably not worth the overhead of DTC compared to hand coding the transaction start and end points, especially if you are implementing data manipulation code in stored procedures. > (b) security.

In the old ASP/COM world scripting ASP is poor compared to components in VB/VC++ in terms of error handling, debugging support etc. Since you're going to the effort of coding up components, you might as well go the extra mile to COM+ and get the extra features for relatively little additional effort. However, with ASP.Net there is less of an incentive to go down this route since the coding model in ASP.Net is first class. I really see COM+ being much less important in .Net.
