ie never adhered to www standards anyway. too bad for the those web sites that only work with ie, they are a minority anyway (<1%).

The EOLAS patent is a patent on automatically-loadable plugin technology, like Java applets or Flash plug-ins. Do you think that Opera or Mozilla aren't affected by this? Tim Berners-Lee, head of the W3C and maker of that standard you talk about (which Microsoft DOES adhere to, even if they add lots of extras) has weighed in on Microsoft's side, and has helped to push this re-evaluation of the patent by the US Patent Office.
