I understand that, but if you read claim 2...
2. The method of claim 1, wherein said executable application is a
controllable application and further comprising the step of:
interactively controlling said controllable application on said client
workstation via inter-process communications between said browser
and said controllable application.
The above describes a plug-in. Specifically, the browser interactively
controls another an application through IPC. Thus, if the technology
behind Windows Media Player was integrated directly into IE then a
streaming video played through IE could be handled by IE without
controlling another application through IPC. If there is no control
through IPC of a stand-alone application than this patent doesn't apply.
