I'm sorry if I offend you, but I think this is one the lowest quality arguments I've ever heard :-(
Anyway, there were even worst choices for LEGO than making an OCX.
At least it reaches a huge percentage of children/teenagers (remember we are not the target of their sales), and let's say the truth, it's damn easy to start programming with it!
Using VC++, it took me a couple of minutes to grab the OCX control, put it in a dialog, generate a class for it, and make my first call to the CyberMaster!
Also remember that the OCX was originally designed for CyberMaster. We CyberMaster users tend to use it a lot since we don't have a lot of memory to work with, and it's common to use the OCX to give support to the CyberMaster unit.
