IIRC it was a Microsoft employee using D with WinRT[1]. He did 
not open-source his work. I think Juno was pretty much on par 
with ease of use, but I never got to the point of doing a direct 
comparison (now that I have Windows 8 I think it would be 
possible)

Anyway, Juno does work in 32 bit, I think 64 bit is close. If I 
actually had a problem to solve with COM I'd probably be working 
out the kinks.

But I want to give credit to Richard Webb for providing solutions 
for several COM integration problems. I've just been deprecating 
things and keeping it compiling for the latest compiler.
