IE’s ActiveX D-Day

As Microsoft announced time ago, the next generation of Internet Explorer will change the way the browser handles ActiveX controls with a significant impact on how online advertising and streaming media content is delivered over the Internet.
The software maker plans to give Web developers an extra 60 days to continue making preparations.
The big push now is for developers to recode Web sites and Web applications to cater for the browser update. If not, users won’t be able to directly interact with Microsoft ActiveX controls loaded by the APPLET, EMBED or OBJECT elements without first activating the user interface with an extra mouse click.
