Microsoft Bows to Eolas, Revamps IE 237

Tenacious Dee writes "The patent quarrel between Microsoft and Eolas takes a strange turn with an announcement from Redmond that the Internet Explorer browser will be modified to change the way ActiveX controls are handled. A Microsoft white paper details the behavior change."

I hope ActiveX is removed, rather than improved. It would reduce people's dependancy on the browser

After that, I came to believe maybe ActiveX isn't so bad after all...

Well then, Microsoft should patent their work-around so that others can't use it!

Don't you just love software patents? :-P
