So, I had asked the question in the subject itself: Is COM an 'outdated' technology?

..it is.

krumia wrote:
If it is, what are the technologies that replace COM? And how?

DCOM and more recently, .NET. No, I'm not going to reiterate history, it's out there on the web somewhere.

krumia wrote:
If it is not, why such an old technology is still there?

Because having something newer that "replaces X" does not really replace X. Assembly and C++ are still around, as is the Latin language.
