Yeah but you're forgetting 99% of new PC users will not have a clue on how to do that. Yeah it's simple to us, but to the newer PC newbie, they wouldn't have a hope in hell.

Same. Saves alot of unnecessary effort to download it later on, and having to download another browser. Might aswell just have IE8 pre-installed so you only need to download one (less or) other browser (for example).
I suspect it means that it will come pre-turned off, so there will be a link in the start bar to install it. MS send music with windows, why not the software for IE?

I bet everyone is really annoyed that Aaron Goldberg gets shipped with windows....
I don't exactly see Steam moaning about Windows shipping with 'Purple Place'...

How your going to manage downloading a web browser without a web browser I don't know.
Everyone does realise this will only apply to disc bought versions of W7?
OEMs will have the option to include any browser they want on their installations of W7, some may choose to put firefox on but almost all new machines will ship with a browser.
What is the RRP of W7 Ultimate? has it been announced yet?
