IE to get less annoying ActiveX

The Internet Explorer team is going to be offering a slightly less annoying version of the ActiveX behavior than is in the currently versions of IE in December. Due to a licensing agreement with EOLAS they are reverting to the "just works" behavior and taking out the "Click to activate" behavior.

We will see this in preview build made available from Microsoft Download in December.  This change will also be included in the next versions of Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3.

There was no word on what this refresh will be branded, likely just a minor version change.

As a Flash Developer, I welcome this change. This wasn't Microsoft's fault, but I am glad they are handling the issue.
