  IE Changes Due: What You Can Expect
Time: 07:38 EST/12:38 GMT | News Source: *Linked Within Post* | Posted By: John Quigley

The change, which Microsoft has been warning Web site developers about since December 2005, was made to abide by a ruling in a patent infringement lawsuit Microsoft lost in 2003 to the University of California and its startup, Eolas Technologies Inc.

MS lost?! About time. Typical corporate greed drives MS. Arrogance should be its middle name.

lol... Serves every affected site right, having "Designed for Internet Explorer" and used a bunch of embedded eye-candy crap.

& I bet that the malicious ActiveX writers will update their scripts quicker than the big corporations.
