Good thing there are billions of web pages out there instead of
millions. This ruling will only affect those that use M$ specific
plug-ins, applets, and scriptlets that take advantage of the Eolas code.
It doesn't say anything about ActiveX in the article, if that's affected
then MM will supply an update to keep Flash sites working in IE. If you
build standards compliant web sites already there is nothing to worry
about, however if you use Front Page there's probably another M$
"upgrade" in your future.
