window.status -> no longer working 1

[1DMF]

I've noticed my onmouseover="window.status='xyz';" no longer works in IE7 , have they changed the syntax or is this now deprecated?

From the IE7 Release Notes:

Status Bar Scripting--Scripts will no longer be able to set the status bar text through the window.status and window.defaultStatus methods by default in the Internet and Restricted Zones. This helps prevent attackers from leveraging those methods to spoof the status bar.
