Hmm, I'm afraid that I'm not MS-savvy anymore (I was in a previous life) and
hardly have an MS machine to test on anymore (Virtual PC + Win98 + MSIE5), but
fortunately, since 99% of the QuickSet launch code is client-side, it's pretty
likely that someone in the community here will have a fix soon (assuming there
is one), just as someone found a fix back in March when it was discovered that
MSIE didn't handle standard JavaScript the same way was as NN. It's just a
matter of finding the right client-side JavaScript code to launch a window
with, and then having the server emit that.
