It was in the firmware from the start with the K10D model based on 
requests from customers before it was released as it was known it would 
have Shake Reduction.

In the new "Development of the E-3" article, maybe a description of 
exactly how much annoyance exists in the current Olympus company for the 
OM legacy lenses out there and why owners won't just let them die

reasons to make them not work with IS; design no firmware fix though the 
request existed since the 510; and generally make legacy lenses 
difficult to use from the start of digital - would be an interesting 
behind-the-scenes subplot. If any article can make it sound like a great 
idea, that one can...
