Here's another take on how the "Eolas" patent could change the net as we know it.
Microsoft may be left with no choice but to disable the plug-in architecture that so many Web users depend on for experiencing dynamically driven content via technologies like Adobe's Acrobat (for PDF files), Apple's QuickTime, Macromedia's Flash, RealNetworks' Real Player, and Sun's Java Virtual Machine. Microsoft is only the first target, I've already heard talk of Opera and Netscape being next. http://techupdate.zdnet.com/techupdate/stories/main/0,14179,2914671,00.html Cheryl D.
