Scott,
I can't resist..................
ask Steve Ballmer,
I think it is one of those "..........when hell freezes over" kind of
things for him/Microsoft.
Active-X by design, and from the www server, downloads/installs complied
object code (dll's) onto the machine that is running the browser that is
attempting to use the Active-X component.
Fortunately for users of browsers other than IE, Microsoft itself is
moving away from dependence upon Active-X in part, because of security
concerns.
If you happen to use IE7 you are probably aware that there is much finer
grained control of which Active-X components the user wants to
allow/disallow (appropriately named "killbits").
Here is the url to a www page that discusses the (basic) concept:
