Microsoft never used NSAPI (API that Mozilla, Apple and Opera use) either. They always used ActiveX. After all, the 'N' in 'NSAPI' means 'Netscape'.

Not true. Internet Explorer used to work with both NSAPI and ActiveX plugins, until they pulled support for the former.

"""Netscape-style plug-ins are supported in Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 1 (SP1) and earlier, but are not supported in Internet Explorer 5.5 Service Pack 2 (SP2) and Internet Explorer 6.""" -- http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306790

Thanks, I stand corrected.

I just remember, that there were two versions of Flash - ActiveX for IE and NPAPI for all the others.

Up until IE6, they did; after that, there was an ActiveX control that could load NPAPI plugins.
