[Hidden-tech] Flash Will Be Disabled in IE Soon

[Jason Turcotte]

Actually, this has already happened.  Ran into this with one of my  
customer's websites.

Also, from what I hear, it's Eolas selectively enforcing the patent  
against Microsoft.  They could (will?) enforce the same patent  
against other browsers such as Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc., but are  
choosing not to at this time.
