The major difference between Microsoft and Allaire/Macromedia is that A/M
makes it VERY clear that the code your getting is not their creation. MS
happilly takes credit for other people's work by either placing a hard to
find "writen by" line at the bottom of some technical sheet only 13 people
will read, or they take the concept or even the code itself, change a few
lines and hey presto! MS offers another great item.
Sure I'm glad this fix was made available, but MS is again stealing the
credit for someone else's code. Ask anyone in two weeks who created this
patch and they'll say MS.
What's the name of the person who created this "patch" anyway? s/he deserves
public credit. It's no diffferent than building some freeware program.
