Eolas re-re-re-re-redux

Eolas re-re-re-re-redux: In response to recent court rulings, Microsoft announced this afternoon that they'll go back to avoiding possible infringement of the Eolas plugin-invocation patent. This Microsoft page on "Changes to Internet Explorer" is back in effect, and I suspect Macromedia/Adobe will be reviving their plugin patent page pretty soon as well. No rush on this... from what I currently understand Microsoft doesn't plan to ship its first altered browsers until mid-spring next year. Sorry to spring this on you on a Friday afternoon, but.... :(
Update: [Additional blogsearch terms: eolas, patent, activex, Active Content]
