SEATTLE — The newest version of Microsoft Corp.’s Internet Explorer browser will be able to direct Web page readers to other sites without the permission — or even the knowledge — of the page’s owner.
The feature, dubbed “Smart Tags,” will be included in Microsoft’s new operating system, Windows XP, which will be released Oct. 25. Currently, Web site owners have complete control over whether to link words or phrases to other Web pages. With this system, Microsoft will have some of that power, although Web site owners will be able to disable the mechanism if they choose.
