Readers: ActiveX sputters out news.com Once again beating a dead horse, I think. Andre Ferrer was one of many respondents who lamented being limited to Windows; he also was one of a handful who not only nixed ActiveX's future but maintained that the technology has been doomed from the start. "How typical of Microsoft...to completely miss the point of Java--platform independence. Like other copycat efforts, this one fails. Not only did the public give ActiveX a lukewarm reception, but the serious security issues pretty much made the technology DOA [dead on arrival]." Oh, I wouldn't say Microsoft missed the point. They're still working hard to mess it up. Of course, the 78% in this poll are all just religious zealot Microsoft haters, who haven't been exposed to the rational, objective message we see here so often. Cheers, Dan. P.S. to Keith, re: the Bill T-shirt guy. Another leave the lawyers out of it thing, I guess the Microsoft lawyers don't have enough things to keep them busy yet. Sherman lurks. . . Cheers, Dan.
