The bottom line is that the EU Comission is stupid. IMO, Microsoft has the right to do whatever they want with their own software. Besides, ordinary people will still use IE anyway.

Yet Microsoft was told that the monopolistic Era has ended and so it had to allow consumers to decide what browser to install but NOT to provide Windows 7 without browser!
Can you imagine a car being sold without tyres? That’s Windows 7!
By the way, Microsoft is still dealing with the EU Commission and it might get another “hot bath”.

The EU actually did not tell Microsoft to remove IE from Windows, that was Microsoft’s response. What the EU had hoped for was that Microsoft would give users more choice (meaning multiple web browsers) which was still a stupid idea in my opinion (because it was about 10 years late among other reasons) and backfired as Microsoft decided to remove IE (and thus every web browser) from the operating system putting European customers in the silly position to purchase an operating system without web browser and without option to upgrade from Vista.

That’s ludicrous that Microsoft sells you an operating system and then gives you absolutely no way to go online. I can understand all the EU anti-trust issues and giving people the opportunity to choose their own browser. But how can people choose what browser they want if they can’t go online to get it in the first place?

They could have just allowed Microsoft to put their browser on with an easy way to uninstall it if the user didn’t want it in the long term. But in the short term, the user is being forced into paying 4 Euros to have the browser on a disk! The cynical part of me thinks that Microsoft is secretly doing this to make more money.

The EU have told MS to remove the browser from all versions of windows 7 pretty much like they told them to remove media player from XP yet was fine for vista?

If your in the uk The free browser will cost you £3.44 to order the disk.

Like most, I am wondering how the end user will be able to download a browser with out having one in the first place unless a pop up displays a list of browsers you can download.

I can currently upgrade to IE8 from the Windows Update website. Is this option not possible with Windows 7?

What browser is automatically installed with Windows 7? Don’t tell me Microsoft doesn’t install their browser automatically!
