"Click to Activate" Extra Step in IE gone

Here’s some good news for all the people that still use Microsoft’s Internet Explorer! That “Click to Activate” button at the top of your browsing window… is now gone! “YAY!” says Admin. Oh wait, I don’t use firefox. W/E

Microsoft announced that it has licensed technology from Eolas that allows this to occur automatically, and thus, the new patch eliminates the “Extra Step”.

According to CNET and the IE Blog, this will be available with the Internet Explorer Automatic Component Activation Preview Patch (available on Microsoft download site in early December), and when the IE Cumulative Update releases in April 2008.

Key Note: The update will not affect the way pages work, nor will developers and designers need to make any adjustment to the way they build their pages

Also…

This was announced in 2006… and Microsoft is still making their users wait…yay for ms
