Following the changes related to Internet Explorer and the Eolas Technologies and the Regents of the University of California v. Microsoft patent case (Eolas v. Microsoft), Microsoft released an optional update to Internet Explorer 6 on February 28th 2006, which made somewhat of a modest change to the behavior of how pages with ActiveX are rendered.
