A new area I'm interested in is use of SOAP. This is very promising in that one can pass objects from one machine to another without needing COM or CORBA. It is passed as simple XML and assembled into an object on the client. Delphi 6 will be supporting this. This is great for the Business objects, it makes it easy to put them on the server side where they belong but allow thin clients to access them as actual objects without the need or overhead or limitations of COM and CORBA.
