You mean like:
  var http = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
?

Or not using any MSXML DOM objects from Javascript?

Tsts...why do they use a modern operating system at all then? ;-)

I would say the contrary: Users with at least a little bit of brain 
don't fall for the panic-hype and know how to configure and use their 
systems correctly, regarding ActiveX.

Besides, most ActiveX objects for ordinary tasks come already 
pre-installed with WindowsXP.
