Less vividly but more formally, as he notes, "A COM object represents a
connection to a service or executable that is running on one computer.
Transferring that connection to another computer is impossible."
While this is indeed a nice turn of phrase, in substance it's incorrect.
You can marshal a live COM object and unmarshal it on a different
machine.

.... but the *references* in that object are unlikely to be
meaningful on the second machine (or, in many cases, on the
original machine, if at a sufficiently later time).
