21/10: WIN7 bundled with Internet Explorer after all!!
2 Points regarding Win 7 and the EU Commissions anti trust case.
I received the new Win 7 Home Premium disks yesterday (2 days early) that I pre ordered several months ago.
On installing them I was given no choice of browser and IE8 was installed as standard!
I have had to download and install Firefox separately after the Win7 install was complete.
On visiting my local bookshop last weekend - the shelves were lined with new books/guides to WIN7
Every single one of them gave details for internet explorer in the browsers section.
Not one mentioned having a choice of browser or gave any details on using any of the other browsers.
As much as I love the new OS and think it is a great step forward I cannot help but feel Microsoft has pulled the wool over everyone's eyes once again? (Inc the EU)
