If this was about "protecting intellectual property" all of the browser
vendors would be in the same boat, however they're not. Microsoft was

to it that Eolas receives as little money as possible for this.
Eolas basically cut off the little toe of the plugin world, but we will
all adapt and be running fast as ever in no time.
