Jag blir galen av sånt här. m¢ har IGEN stulit nåt. Det kostade dem >500 miljoner dollar (som skulle kunnat användas till nåt MYCKE bättre) och det kostar OSS en massa omgörningar av sidor, för att 95% av allas webläsare ska slippa få en dialogruta med OK i nyllet varje gång rörlig inbäddad grafik ska visas... Grrrrrrrrrrr -
This change is a result of an adverse verdict against Microsoft in a patent infringement lawsuit brought by the University of California and Eolas Technologies. You can read about this case at
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2003/oct03/10-06EOLASpr.asp.
Eolas has asserted that its patent covers one specific mechanism used by Web page authors to embed and automatically invoke certain interactive programs. We made this change to IE to respond to this ruling after considering many factors, including impact on the customer and impact on developers.
