a type of system that divides a workload to computers connected to a network. The network may be either be enclosed in a room or out in the open, like the Internet. Distributed computing is also referred to as distributed processing, cooperative computing, and collective computing. See the Introduction section for a major treatment.

Hmmm I'd say Yes:confused:
From MSDN help file:
Microsoft® Distributed COM (DCOM) extends the Component
Object Model (COM) to support communication among objects on
different computers—on a LAN, a WAN, or even the Internet. With
DCOM, your application can be distributed at locations that make
the most sense to your customer and to the application.
HTH.
