Conversion of MTS Packages to COM+ Applications
COM+ can be viewed as a merging of Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and COM, along with the introduction of new features.
For the most part, your MTS packages are converted to COM+ applications during the Windows setup procedure. Without doing anything beyond the typical setup, you can take advantage of all the new COM+ features. For a list and brief explanation of the most significant COM+ improvements, see COM+ Programming Overview.
