    Amen, brother LOL

    So, the options could be....
    1, US & rest of the world....Shipped with IE8
    2, EU....Shipped without IE8, offered as update making it no different to 1!!!

    Seems a bit silly really LOL

    I guess most customers will complain about not having a web browser...for most Windows Update is even too complicated...

    EU sucks in several points...

    Btw why you tipped UE? Didn't you mean EU?

    Before you format to install your shiny new E edition, download IE8 and Firefox so you can install them after format.

    Surely that defeats the object of buying a Microsoft Operating System running Microsoft Software?? LOL

    If i'm gonna fork out my well earned cash then I want the FULL package, not something hacked up by EU regulations!!

    Not to mention that somewhere from 60-70% of the normal home users would be installing IE8 anyways.

    I Think they will give you a list of options on the set up screen and you select what Internet Browser you want to download/install.
    That would make the most sense, some small app that presents you a list of choices which I guess would have to be approved by the EU, then would download & install the chosen browser ...

    Or maybe they'll force you to go to a B&M store to buy an internet browser so you can then go shopping on the internet instead of a B&M store ...

    Apparently the EU are considering that you get an alternate Operating System with W7.... Just to be fair to its competitors lol ( I'm kidding by the way )

    I just wish that the EU would stop meddling in so many things. I can see the headlines now EU to require MS to stop including Windows with Windows.
