Fresh Internet Explorer Test Build to be Released in December

zekrahminator · Nov 9, 2007

In April 2006, Microsoft made some changes to how Internet Explorer interacted with ActiveX controls, and ActiveX controls on web pages had a "click to activate" prompt. After hearing from the users that this was extremely annoying, Microsoft decided it was for the better if they licensed and developed technology to eliminate that prompt, and to auto-run all ActiveX controls. Since these changes only affect the browser, web developers with ActiveX controls will have to do virtually nothing for the ActiveX prompts to disappear. The new build of Internet Explorer, without annoying ActiveX prompts, will become available in April 2008, and will be packaged with Vista SP1 and XP SP3. Anyone hoping to try beta forms of this new IE build will get that opportunity in December 2007.

Does this mean that it will autorun all those malicious virus scripts without user having to click anything? Sounds so scary I wouldn't beta test it even payed

lol, maybe solaris will give this a try to complement SP1 beta.

kakazza · Nov 9, 2007

Wow, and I almost thought it'd be something usefull, like... CSS 2.1 support, anyone?

i thought the whole point of adding the active x prompt was to let the person using internet explorer know that the site they are visiting contains active x which can load malware onto their machine. hmmm....

God damn Noooooo

Myspace users will fill up my shop even more. ActiveX = death wish to your computer......

I think they mean it will still say ActiveX is there, but this gets rid of the thing on flash animation and the like where you try and click something but you need to activate it first.
