ActiveX/OLE/COM is, again, not core Windows. They are applications that run
on Windows. The default user interfaces on the system use these for
management of the system and they are heavily embedded in several user faced
applications such as IE so that you may think they are core Windows but they
are not. One of the best responses on this list in the last couple of days
was from Ondra, go look for it. 

Not to disagree with you on ActiveX et al, but with Microsoft's
representatives swearing under oath that they can't remove IE from
Windows with out breaking Windows, suggests to me that *they* considor
IE a core component to Windows
