Dave's source within Microsoft says:

"What doesn't come out in the Wired article is how obtrusively the third-party cookie notification feature is implemented. If you enable this feature (and right now it's enabled by default), every time you hit a page with a banner that sets a third-party cookie, a warning dialog pops up. Every page. That's not a behavior that anyone's going to tolerate. And the all the Web sites will not be able to respond, even if they're willing, quickly enough.

"End result: users will turn off the feature."

But the screen shot Dave posted shows a dialog box that allows you to make any behavior the default -- so the quote above is inaccurate. How close is this guy to the actual product? Is there credibility?
