Far from it! OutlookExplorer was written as an experiment when I had to use Windows in a corporate environment. I don't run Windows at all on my own hardware, and I even assembled my own Linux-compatible machine in order to (a) not pay the Windows tax and (b) get open enough hardware for which Linux drivers exist. Rant: instead of quietly grumbling and installing Linux over Windows on newly purchased hardware, and then grumbling some more about incomplete device support, I'd advise both individuals and businesses to tell vendors where they can shove their bundled Windows licences and special agreements with Microsoft. Installing Linux after the fact does little to enlighten the average vendor - to them you're still running Windows, loving it, and presumably willing to buy the whole package from them again in future.

DCOP is mostly equivalent to COM for automation purposes. Whilst there are command line tools (dcop) and simple graphical tools (kdcop) for accessing the interfaces exposed by applications, you might want to consider PyKDE and its own DCOP support. What I've just added to qtxmldom is support for DCOP-based access to DOM documents in Konqueror, although the installation of the different components is still a bit awkward: PyKDE needs a patch, for example.
