What if Microsoft's change to IE is to actually patch commonly used plugins directly into the browser's binary? Would this circumvent the patent by eliminating the call to an external executable? If so, other browsers would have to follow suit if they were persued. It would certainly put the kibosh on new plugin creation, but give them a better negotiating position. Just a thought, please let me know if I'm way off base. -- Michael Condouris http://www.amberdigital.com Telephone: 973-857-7707Received on Thursday, 4 September 2003 15:14:10 GMT
