i dont see why MS have to only offer it to people running IE, surely in the interests of fairness it should be offered to all users regardless of browser?

Well I don't know what all the fuss is about! I am and always have been a happy Internet Explorer user, never had any problems or security issues with it personally and yes I have tried Firefox and the like, just never got on with them. I chose to not even bother downloading the Browser choice update and have hidden it from future updates. Surely if it was that necessary to appease the EU commission it would have been made a mandatory update?

living in the UK the pre ordered copy of win7 i bought was the ultimate N version no IE shipped with it then the EU allowed MS a little leeway to give the consumers a choice so they allowed MS to bundle IE back with the OS as long as they (the consumers) also could be given the addional choice of browser which means if i want to completely uninstall IE i can unlike the plain versions of the OS where you cannot completely uninstall, only hide it so i guess i was a lucky one

In the actual interests of fairness, and intelligence, it shouldn't even be offered at all.

ia gree, but if the EU are forcing it on them, then it should be offered to all users regardless of browser, [sarcasm] what about all those people who have been dileberately mislead and mis informed about using other browsers and didnt know they had an option [/sarcasm]
