Microsoft shares more IE8 security details
When Microsoft officials released a first test build of Internet Explorer (IE) 8 back in March, they said they were intentionally refraining from talking specifics about new security features and functionality that would be part of the next browser release.
In the past few weeks, however, Microsoft has started providing more IE 8 security information via postings to the IE Blog.
This week, Internet Explorer Program Manager Matthew David Crowley blogged about the changes Microsoft is making around ActiveX controls with the next release of its browser. Specifically, IE 8 users running on Vista will allow “standard” users to install ActiveX controls in their own user profile without requiring administrative privileges.
