Internet Explorer update breaks websites, especially Quickplace

Yesterday after Microsoft Internet Explorer updated to include the new Microsoft workaround to their legal issue, I started noticing significant problems using QuickPlace's ActiveX controls and loading STLinks awareness (related to Sun JVM). At first I had no idea what was going on but after numerous crashes and failures to create pages, I researched it. Microsoft details the software update here. If you happen to use wildly obscure software like Adobe Reader, Flash, Windows Media, or the Sun JVM, your sites will be affected. Sometimes, drastically.
This "Microsoft update" is going to be a huge IBM support issue (if it hasn't already started) for QuickPlace very soon. We have looked at it for just about an hour and are very afraid of what will happen in the coming months.

Well the whole Eolas situation is quite interesting...
MS has been quite upfront with the change they were planning I remmeber that I had a IE beta with the change some 2 years ago...(Did a quick test with a customers document workflow system).
Now I'm not sure whether the way they have changed IE was the only possible solution, I have a nagging feeling that they are trying to take everyone hostage for their own cause.
Which may have some merit despite the fact that they lost in court.
