This is getting out of hand. If Windows wants to ship IE with THEIR operating system, then they should be allowed to do so. People who don't want to use IE don't have too... I myself use Firefox and IE came with my operating system.

I agree and the next thing MS will have to offer a ballot box for sticky notes, paint, ftp, disk defrag, sound recorder and etc.

Sooner than later I hope Apple gets nailed for doing the same thing MS keeps getting nailed for. I can dream right

Sammy,

I am a big Mac fan, however, I have to agree 100%. I use Firefox on both the Mac OS and in Win 7. It will have to happen sooner or later; in fact I am surprise that Mircosoft hasn't pulled an Opera in the EU against Apple. Wouldn't blame if they did.

That sounds cool...

But Opera might get there first!

lol I can just see the XP users going "wtf" when they get the update as they many will not have been keeping up with developments.

If they are using a form of IE, then that would be classed as hypocritical. Mind you, would that be of any surprise with politicians?

As to the last it would surprise me they weren't.

As to the first, i fail to see the hypocrisy. They're just functionaries doing the job they are paid to do. Their personal preferences for browsers are immaterial.

You have the EU parliament, they are politicians they make the laws. You have the EU committees they are the law enforcement.

Don't blame the police officer for citing you for speeding. Blame yourself or the politicians who made the law.

Most corporate pcs use IE in my experience, I cant see that being any different for EU staff.
