Good news for applets with IE8!

I have just tried IE8 Beta 1 with my applets and they all ran first time
without any additional configuration (i.e. I didn't have to reinstall the
Java plug-in) *and* the requirement to "Click to activate this control"
appears to have been removed!

And loving it,

Don't worry. I'm sure that Microsoft will fix these problems before IE8 ships.
