Microsoft and Online Privacy??!!

codeguru writes "This has to be a paradox. IE has a new feature, the first time from a Browser manufacturer, that implements user privacy. The story is available on wired.com. 'The additions for Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser will describe cookies to the user and differentiate between first- and third-party cookies, Microsoft said. The browser will then let the user refuse third-party cookies.'." The browser manufacturers have had many chances to include privacy features, and rejected them. I'll believe this one when I see it.
