Cool story, didn't know about the automation and scriptability. I wonder how many customers are still using NetObjects Fusion today, e.g. how well it has kept up with changes in the browser landscape.

Edit: was a browser included on the CDs? Today, one could bundle a portable-apps version of Firefox, increasing the likelihood of the content remaining readable, without needing external plugins for video.

It's been awhile so I don't remember the full specifics, but it was bundled with a specially configured version of Internet Explorer in a mode much like kiosk mode, but even more locked down. No right click menu, navigation, etc. Just basically a full-screen browser with no chrome. Administrators had to hit a special key sequence to exit.
