Well, if MS opened ActiveX a tad, then maybe Firefox could. Or if people stopped using ActiveX...



ActiveX is a pox on the arse of the internet in many ways, not the least of which is the "let me install a control through which I can run rampant on your computer" portion of the POS. I can only imaging their reasoning: "Hmm, first we'll take our second-rate, security-hole riddled browser and integrate it into the OS shell. Then, we'll install a mechanism through which anyone can install a control that allows them to do just about anything they want on the remote computer. We'll prompt the user, asking if they REALLY, TRULY want to install the control, but we know that will be as effective as a year-old condom in the wallet of a teenaged boy." GRRRR. The notion that the tech world should follow MicroSquishs' lead instead of expecting the 'Squish to follow INDUSTRY STANDARDS is ludicrous. In my opinion coders who code only for IE are "learn FrontPage in a day" charlatans who should have majored in something other than Medieval Languages in college.
