We are in the process of getting ObjectStudio 8 ready for early access - if having a look at that (and getting us feedback) is of interest to you, then send me email. I intend to push out a screencast on this later eventually, but in the meantime, here are a few screenshots. First, ObjectStudio running inside VW - click through for a larger image:
Now for the cool stuff - I loaded the OLE support into

Now, launching the IE demo - that pops up a window with the IE
HTML control embedded in it. Again, you can click through for a

is running inside VisualWorks. Which means that - once this is
ready (and I need to emphasize that we at early alpha levels right
now) -
you'll be able to make use of this as either an ObjectStudio or
a VisualWorks developer. Very cool stuff. Here's the
ObjectStudio code, seen in the Refactoring Browser (again, click
through for a larger image):
