Thread:Comments:South Korean presidential candidate promises to legalise non-ActiveX technologies for banking/If I were South Korean...

...I would definitely vote for this guy. Not only is ActiveX practically designed to force people to use an inferior browser (Internet Explorer) but it's horribly insecure. On top of that, it is absolutely completely unnecessary for online banking. Completely. There's absolutely no purpose in using ActiveX or anything beyond an SSL enabled web server (HTTPS) and common sense while running the server for setting up a web banking server.

Did Microsoft lobby South Korea before to make it illegal to use non-ActiveX?
