    ironically, you're wrong...

    ActiveX is central to the way all (modern) Windows applications work. Every button and other control you see on your screen is actually an ActiveX component.
    If you're using DirectX, everything is ActiveX controls including (but not limited to) your sound, animation, graphics, network connection, etc. etc.
