A little bird told me that MSIE has Javascript hooks that allow a site to check whether all Microsoft products on a client machine are properly licensed. Has anyone investigated the Javascript (err, Jscript) implementation in MSIE to see if this is true?
The same little bird told me that MS is building some use of this "feature" into their Websites. Can any MS consultants corroborate on this issue?
I might have some insight on this after Thursday's afternoon outing to the Microsoft Web Builder Workshop. (for those who haven't heard, MSoft is offering a half-day seminar with major swag... for $89, you walk out with NT 4.0 server, J++, FrontPage and every instantiation of MSIE) I expect to learn some interesting stuff. - -- Roy M.
