Microsoft Deep Sixing "Click to Activate"
The following is an excerpt from a recent Microsoft press release:
"In April 2006, Microsoft changed the way Internet Explorer activates ActiveX controls loaded from web pages. Users were required to manually activate controls, by clicking the control or confirming a "click to activate" message, before interacting with controls loaded by websites.
As a result of recent technology licenses acquired by Microsoft, these restrictions are no longer mandatory. Microsoft plans to remove the activation behavior from Internet Explorer in April 2008."
