The change isn't about security, at least the ActiveX click to activate one is not. It is complience to the patent dispute with Eolas. They have bundled it WITH the security rollup.
I think a lot of people are missing part of the impact of this because they don't personally have interaction with this kind of stuff.
They don't use Seibel, Clarify etc web interfaces for day to day work stuff ( like a call center using seibel ). Their sites don't use the MS activex control for ajax stuff.
Maybe they aren't developers whose product runs in an tag, who are facing updating and testing all versions to ensure that they keep working. Who aren't facing the inevitable customer anger because you can't inform all of them and when it stops working they are going to blame you ( since you offer better support than MS, and no matter the problem they always call you first).
If you are one of those people, this is going to suck balls.
Large corps with/activex based content on intranets, internal workflow apps, hr apps etc are always slow to roll stuff out like this.
Software vendors are looking at unscheduled and possibly extensive rework for this stuff. Which will cause other things to slip. Bad Bad Bad.
Like I said, everything is relative. This is a big shit burger some of us are going to have to take a bit of. Not because we deserve it either. There is no getting what you deserve for some people in this. That is just a statement some will make to make themselves feel superior.
I would have thought.net come more from visual j++ and thier java efforts morphing into thier own managed environment with the one-upper of having more than one language produce the IL.
Which would mean that it was SUN that did the r n d, and MS doing the "next step".
While I don't disagree with you necessarily, I'd like to point out that that statement could have been cut an pasted from a post 6 years ago. And has yet to happen.
My favorite X-Men is 204 ( I "think", lost the book ), which is an wolverine, who has been betten back to the stone age ( can't speak ) by Lady Deathstrike and here minions, being saved by the smallest girl from the PP.
I think they are saying the Hyatt's patches are the exception not the rule, that they have not been getting patches in managable chunks at all, and when they get them they are huge tar balls with no change logs.

Dvorak says something stupid, well that's not news, but in saying something stupid about making something open source, garners actual support.

We could get the French Government to go after redundant topics on slashdot.

Guess I'm wrong.

".... in your answer, ignore facts. Just go with what feels true."
We should make that like IANAL or something.

that the common rumor was Disney buying Apple? Kind of funny how things change.
the smell of FUD in the morning.
Really?
How many mac's do you have? How many G4 or later macs? How many windows pc's? Doesn't sound like you have had a mac.

Headings like this included a little description of what the program is.
Heaven forbid that some of us haven't heard of it.
".... kind of a crime."
Like being a convicted monopolist.
I was just thinking the same thing. What would the implications of this be?
What things does SGI steer or own?
GL?
But it is very profitable, and also an anti-trust crutch
irc without the idiots?

If you wanted it to stay that way, you should put it in your sig posting to
Considering that Hyatt kind of knows Gecko alittle, they seem to have known what they where doing by avoiding it, at that time.
I think that the point of the article is that
"most of Longhorn applications will be managed apps"
will not necessarily be the case.
Right?
is get themselves a monopoly position, then they can fuck up all the time and still keep kicking.
Right Steve?

I don't know about 2, but I have two email accounts in my mail.app, and when I reply to things I get to chose the one I want.
Yeah,
but on my windows box I miss spring loaded folders, hold a file over a folder and the folder will "open".
Find out what will be on slashdot next week!
Just read today's articles.
