Eoalas patch for Internet Explorer delayed
The IE update, which results from a patent of Eolas Technologies, changes the way the browser handles ActiveX controls and could have a significant impact on how online advertising and streaming media content is delivered over the Internet.
The software maker plans to give Web developers an extra 60 days to continue making preparations.
According to information reaching eWEEK, Microsoft announced the plans for a one-time 60-day extension during a conference call with industry partners on March 28 wherein Redmond officials reiterated the need for Web pages to be completely re-authored to avoid possible disruptions.
If Web sites and advertising units aren't re-authored, Microsoft warned that ActiveX Controls and Java Applets will require user activation before the user can interact with the control.
