There's been a good amount of discussion of this issue already on
FlashCoders, usually referring to the more complete resources that were
immediately mounted on the Adobe site after Microsoft committed to this
early distribution in (a) IE7 previews and (b) IE6 users who happened to
find and select this option in the current Windows Update routines. Link:

Summary: Content still displays, but needs a confirmation click for user
interactivity to start. This behavior is similar to how plugins need an
initial click for the browser's focus to transfer within the content,
and is not as obtrusive as the behavior of the FlashBlock plugin for
Firefox.
You can avoid this new legally-prompted behavior by writing your
OBJECT and EMBED tags from an external JavaScript file, as advertisers
usually do, and as people concerned about W3C validation of their markup
already do.
