Re: Registering in ROT with ROTFLAGS_ALLOWANYCLIENT

Well Alexander, we used to have our own exe which was pretty similar to
what mmc is; a console for the administrator, with the typical model: a
tree control at left, result view on the right.

It's been a *great* move for us to drop this code a few years back and
implement a snapin instead (I still would recommend it to others in a
similar situation as ours); now we have wonderfull integration with
other tools (snapins) which would have been next to impossible without
a very close development effort between us and these other tool
vendors. MMC by itself does nothing - it<s just setting a standard on
how tools should be implemented and the reward is this integration
between the different tools. We consider our snapin to be our
application and mmc.exe is our application; it just happen that we
don't control this exe shell (how it's installed and configured).

So you're telling me we should drop mmc and redo all this console-type
UI, forget all the benefits that it brings us and that this would be a
better design? I have a great deal of respect for you Alexander (a real
COM guru :-) and thanks for your suggestion, but I'll pass on this
one...
