Eolas-mandated IE Update is Out

Information for Developers about Changes to Internet Explorer: The Eolas patent decision has spawned the dreaded IE update. Changes will need to be made, especially if your sites use Flash.

“Developers who build ActiveX controls, Web developers who use ActiveX and Java Applets on their Web sites, and developers who host the Web Browser OC or MSHTML should consult this documentation to understand how the user experience is changing, and also how to modify their pages to manage the user experience for their content.”
