 Microsoft
is to remove a feature from Internet Explorer that required users to activate
certain interactive features on a website.
Prior to April 2007, the features functioned without any user interaction. The changes were made in an effort to circumvent a patent owned by Eolas and the University of California. Microsoft agreed in August to pay $521m to settle the patent dispute. "Microsoft has now licensed the technologies from Eolas, removing the 'click to activate' requirement in Internet Explorer," said Pete LePage, a senior product manager at Microsoft, on the company's IE Blog. "Because of this, we are removing the 'click to activate' behaviour from Internet Explorer."  News source: vnunet.com
