[TYPO3-dev] OT : Internet Explorer 7.0 --- and the terror goes on

[Daniel Brüßler]

Hi,

they seem to have a problem, because the link to "Internet Explorer 
ActiveX Update" at that page doesn't work. In the moment it links to the 
knowledge-base-article # 912945. Does anybody use the MSDN-stuff and can 
look for it?

Oh I really love the IE. Life would be sooo boring without that 
wonderfull software.

ActiveX seems to have the state of a "plugin" - so I think AJAX has to 
be activated by a click when a site wants to use it. I think nobody has 
to change javascript-code for using AJAX in IE6. In IE7 it should not be 
a problem because then it's not driven by activeX anymore. So the web is 
a little bit more secure.

The big problem is IMHO that EOLA wanted to have a high price for their 
patent. Now they've won against a big fish - so it's worth much money. 
MS seem use a trick to prevent a conflict. Let's hope, that we don't get 
that strange software-patents in europe, too!!!
