    My message didn't show up on this board because of a bug or something so I'm posting again: If you put a WebBrowser control in a Form, and then put that Form inside another Form (set it's Parent to the other form and set TopLevel to false, which is perfectly legal according to the docs), then when you quit your application (close the outer Form), it will stay resident in memory and eat up 100% of CPU time. (You can see it doing this in the Task Manager). This is probably caused by that OLEinPlace stuff somehow but I don't know OLE so that's totally a guess. This is a HUGE problem for me!!
