Microsoft announced in October ( http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/press/2003/oct03/10-06EOLASpr.asp) that it was considering minor changes that would allow Web developers and others who use Internet Explorer technology to avoid infringing with the patent.
Microsoft also indicated that these steps would be implemented in new versions of Windows that were shipping this year.
Given these circumstances, and after consulting industry colleagues and developers, Microsoft, for now, will not be releasing an update to IE and does not plan on making the changes it announced in October to Service Pack 2 of Windows XP.
