Microsoft has published details of how Internet Explorer has changed in response to the Eolas plugins court case it lost last month. Wow. The appeal hasn’t even gone through yet, and I thought there was also talk of the whole thing being dropped. Rather uncharacteristically, Microsoft seems very keen – too keen? – to comply.

Anyway, there you have it. Macromedia also has this Active Content FAQ, which states

In this future version of Internet Explorer, active content that is embedded in HTML pages in certain ways will cause the browser to prompt the user to confirm the loading of each instance of active content on that page. This interrupted page loading experience can be remedied well in advance of the browser’s release by making straightforward modifications to the way active content is coded in HTML pages.

So it looks like there’s a need for some end-user education pretty sharpish. I don’t think that this is enough. [hat tip: JD
