Just When You Got Used to Clicking for Activation...

The next Internet Explorer release will get rid of the warning box for ActiveX components launched in the browser, the result of Microsoft paying Eolas to license its intellectual property. The change doesn't require any modifications to Web applications.

Considering the gloom and doom that surrounded the Eolas ruling two years ago, the change didn't really throw enterprise Web applications for a loop. So, taking away the extra click might be more of a security issue for desktop managers than a boon to on-demand applications.
