Hi Chris,
The COM that is in WINE currently works pretty well,
overall. For example, an app I am currently debugging
is basically completely written as COM objects, and it
works fine. There are certainly things that are missing,
for example out of process and remote servers are not
supported yet, a lot of functions are only stubs, I'm sure
other people on this list can point other things out to you.
A good way to find problems is to grep files for FIXME and stub.
Also, DCOM support doesn't exist at all, as far as I know.
I don't think anyone is currently working on COM/DCOM at
the moment in WINE... So, if you would be willing to
help out, that would be great! In the source tree, most
of the COM stuff is in dlls/ole32/compobj.c
