• ActiveX components contain full 32-bit native code as opposed to 8-bit byte code of Java applets, making Java significantly slower than ActiveX • ActiveX components are only downloaded the first time they are accessed and each time a new version of the software is updated, keeping network congestion to a minimum • ActiveX applets are more stable than Java applets on Microsoft Windows desktops • All Windows API functions are available and called directly with an ActiveX applet • ActiveX has a consistent look and feel between Word, Excel or any ActiveX application
