Microsoft Confirms IE Changes in Wake of Lawsuit

theodp writes "On Monday, Microsoft verified that it will be making what it calls "modest" changes to Windows and IE to meet the requirements of the jury verdict against it in the Eolas patent infringement case. Microsoft says it will finish making the changes to IE and Windows by early next year and will provide developers that use IE technology with documentation to help them modify their applications, Web pages, and browser plug-ins to work with the new plug-in scheme, which affects all Web pages that use plug-in technologies such as Adobe Reader, Apple QuickTime, Macromedia Flash, RealNetworks RealOne, all versions of Java, and Windows Media Player. A preview of the new user experience shows the user being prompted to confirm loading of each ActiveX control."

Who is this noone fellow, and why was he speaking for an atrocious speller like you?

Oh, you mean "no-one", two words, hyphenated. The statement "there was nune (phonetic spelling) left to speak out for me" sure loses its dramatic power don't you think? It actually becomes kind-of comical. If you'd rather be powerful than comical, try to spell better.
