Re:Would this also affect firefox? (Score 1)

Eolas is being a bad patent holder - from an end user perspective, whether we like it or not, patent circumventing changes to IE will affect the vast majority of websites, in the form of the changes that the maintenance staff will have to perform to be able to provide the same content/etc without using this type of tech. On a second point Eolas claim that they patented this in '93/'94. Lotus were using this concept from intranet content browsing in '91/'92. If this isn't a case of someone seeing an existing tech and patenting it with a ridiculously cosmetic change I don't know what is. It's frippery and Eolas will hopefully get themselves thrown out on this one.
