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

I'm pretty sure it'll work like this, I saw a screenshot of this a while ago. When setting up the internet you get a pop-up and you get to pick a browser to download, IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera and Safari, tick the one you want and it downloads it and sets it up for you.

Oh, that would be cool, at east you have the option not to have I.E.

I'd rather it came with IE installed, saves the effort of waiting 20 seconds for it to download.

Computer noobs NEED IE

I wish politicians would keep their focus on running their god damn countries as oppose to meddling with these sort of affairs. Either way IE is an established web browser so bundled with it or not people are going to use it.

Why don't Microsoft have the right to give a web browser with their operating system I mean it certainly is something I would expect to come with an OS.

It is not like we are in some sort of tie-in clause with IE where by no other web browser can be installed if your using IE.

Yes, I agree, it's politics gone mad.

Didn't Microsoft suggest people used Firefox at one point when there were serious security problems? It is very odd and pointless, everyone uses IE at some point, even the people who don't like it. Sometimes you have to visit websites that don't like Firefox, I can't remember the last time I had to do that but it wasn't that long ago

Perhaps they shouldn't ship with mspaint either because photoshop can't compete:S

terrible ruling, but IE sucks anyways.

You obviously download a browser onto a flash drive or disk

Ok, you buy your first computer with se7en, you then magic up another computer with vista, use IE to dl FF and copy it to USB to the other computer and install IE, then you throw away the magiced up computer....
