I'm sure over 99% of the world who have a computer, also have a tv or access to family tv. oh advertisement.

im sure they could advertise more on various webpages

It's not as if because its a browser there is no way to advertise :\

People have a choice to buy a system with an OS or not, they also have a choice to buy a system with Windows installed on it. Cost is irrelevant to this. Choice is irrelevant.

Windows comes with IE, so they're promoting IE.
Ubuntu comes with Firefox, so they're promoting Firefox.
Macs come with Safari, so they're promoting safari.

The Mac OS isn't free, is it.

Most people who use the internet know what a browser is. If they don't know what one is then I doubt they care about which browser they use.

What a joke. Microsoft made the OS, so they should be allowed to bundle anything they like with it. What will be next? Windows Movie Maker or paint because it 'dominates' the market.

How do you download any other browser when you don't have a browser installed?

I do however, think they shouldn't have it embedded into the system. You should be able to install it if you don't want it.

You can uninstal it if you want :/

Also, IE's embedded into the system, you cannot install it.

I lol'd


and lol at this, EU are dumb :).

Although I think Internet Explorer is a waste of breath I think it's within their right to include it in Windows. Should they not be allowed to sell Media Center editions of Windows because Media Center competes with other PVR software? Does mspaint hurt Photoshop sales?

No, Jake, you can't. Try uninstalling it, it won't budge.
