I was talking about the stuff here http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms233411.aspx. The various metadata interfaces are using IUnknown which I also took as being part of COM. Also I see ICorRuntimeHost which I was under the impression is part of the whole .Net universe. (I'll apologize in advance that that I didn't completely read the whole overviews about Metadata or what ICorRuntimeHost is used for.)
I looked up Don Box previoulsy and he may be down on it at Microsoft, but that still doesn't mean other companies feel that way.
I'll believe COM is dead when Microsoft provides all new features for Windows and Office in assemblies and stops adding new Win32/Win64 API's.
