It's moot, but COM is fine, it's no more or less scalable than C++. Firefox is entirely built with a cross platform clone of COM, called XPCOM. The problem is that we made XSI only for a Windows NT-only future. The mainwin decision was meant to be something temporary until SGI died out. It's not just COM, it's a 100% windows sdk app. On Fri, Feb 14, 2014 at 8:42 AM, Angus Davidson <angus.david...@wits.ac.za> wrote: >> Jumping into Modo for my first attempt at particles.
