Good bye, "Click to activate" ActiveX

Hooooray, great news :)

Maybe you remember when Microsoft lost his case with Eolas, we were force to click on every #$%#@ ActiveX component on every web page - I don't want to blame Microsoft for this, I don't want to blame Eolas and definitely I don't want to blame lawyers (because I got one at home ;))...

But soon we will finally forget those dark times - Microsoft licensed that "technology" from Eolas - so soon we will get back our wonderfull old-style ActiveX processing :)

To be more specific - December 2007 will be avaible patch preview and patch itself should be delivered at end of April 2008...
