Microsoft changes way ActiveX (flash, shockwave, java, etc) code for IE is rendered

[pstation]

In case you haven't been keeping up, in about 50 days Microsoft will be releasing a patch that permanently changes the way activex controls work. Users will now have to first click on the control to "activate" it before they're able to interact with it in any way. It's not that *big* of change for most people, but worth mentioning nonethless...

like it or not, IE is still used by the majority of "average" surfers, so you simply can't ignore it if you're in this to make $$$...
