-\begin{itemize}
-\item support incoming DCOM calls from Windows clients
-\item support outgoing DCOM calls to Windows hosts

+DCOM is currently mostly a legacy technology, with Microsoft 
+focussing on the .NET framework. The .NET framework in 
+the Windows world has compatibility for COM built in. Rather then 
+a hard-coded standard for remoting, the .NET framework supports 
+various backends, DCOM being one of them.\cite{DotNETRemotingIntro}
+
+Mono\footnote{http://www.mono-project.com/} is an open source project 
+that aims to implement Microsoft's .NET framework. 
+
+It should be relatively easy to add support for DCOM, perhaps somewhat 
+similar to Remoting.Corba\footnote{http://remoting-corba.sourceforge.net/}.
