Microsoft is planning to make available for download in December to interested customers an optional preview test version of IE browser called the Internet Explorer Automatic Component Activation Preview. This version will eliminate the Click to Activate control that Microsoft instigated in April 2006 in order to alleviate potential infringement on Eolas patents. Users will be able to get the preview via a standalone download from the Microsoft Download Center. It also will be built into the next pre-release versions of Windows Vista Service Pack (SP) 1 and Windows XP SP3, Microsoft officials said, via a posting on November 8 to the IE Team Blog.
