Problem with SWFObject?

I've seen a lot of posts over the past week or so regarding issues people are having with SWFObject and IE - after upgrading to player 9.0.115.0. From my understanding this is nothing to do with the player, and all to do with your IE having a corrupt player install. The solution is to use the official uninstaller, and then re-install the new player. (Or use a friggin decent browser - such as Firefox)
Adobe has some information on this issue here: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157
