    Default No IE onboard Windows 7 in Europe - The EU are idiots

    Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8096701.stm

    European buyers of Windows 7 will have to download and install a web browser for themselves.


    Bowing to European competition rules, Microsoft Windows 7 will ship without Internet Explorer.
    The company said it would make it easy for PC makers and users to get at and install the web browsing program.
    In response Brussels expressed scepticism over the move and whether it went far enough to ally accusations of it abusing its market position.
    Except we can't download a web browser without a web browser you idiots, they can still only download IE8 it still does nothing...
    And so the insanity won out.

    ***? Apple computers ship with Safari.

    It's their product so they can ship it with whatever the hell they want, whether that be a crap web browser, porn or a load of viruses.

    I know, and the only way to get another internet browser is to install IE in the first place, unless we have to start buying FF from stores. This is the most stupid idea on the planet....

    No, there will be a link on the start menu and/or desktop saying "Download Internet Explorer 8 Here" and when you double click it it will start downloading. You don't have to have a web browser to download something.

    I think this should also mean computers are no longer allowed to ship with a user interface. I mean, any company that put their own user interface on one of their products would surely abusing and taking advantage of the customer? Users should have to install a GUI of their own choice and not have one forced upon them by the big, bad computer companies :rolleyes:.

    They still have to install IE8 to download FF...
    This would be a great time for UKIP to take over and rid us of our tech hating EU...
