MS Gives 60-Day Deadline to Web Devs
capt turnpike writes "Since losing the patent case filed by Eolas, Microsoft has to change radically the way IE works with a lot of content, especially video and other ActiveX controls. eWEEK is reporting that Microsoft has gotten a one-time, 60-day extension in which developers and companies can try to re-engineer their Web pages and ads to work with the new regime. If devs don't make that deadline, users could face pages asking them to activate much of the content, plus ads."
So what you are saying is that you create active-x websites? I hope these aren't public facing.
No,no,no you see, it's slashdot. Nothing good can come from using Microsoft technology.
Roll your eyes, sigh then just melt into the groupthink that is Slashdot. You want to become a mindless parroting serf like everyone else. It's all good. "Everything is going to be O.K."...
Remember, ActiveX is bad, Linux is good. With Linux you can't do bad. You can have a website that administers a whole cluster of Linux servers protected ONLY by a htaccess prompt and it will be awesome as long as it's running on Linux!
If I can't view your site with IE, I will just move onto somewhere else...
That's the stupidest piece of anti-IE-standards-compliant rhetoric I've ever read. If you can't write a web page to render on IE then just draw pictures in Photoshop and pass them around on disks fool.
Damn, I already moderated this topic. Now I'll have to log in with my sock puppet to comment.
