Ok, I'm from Luxembourg, so I will buy the Windows 7 Home Premium E version!!

There is no Internet Browser included, personal I do not like IE8. (With the last Microsoft Products, like Morro, and Windows 7 itself, I'm very happy, but think like IE or MediaPlayer I can't use them, they do not make me happy)

So I was a long-time FireFox user, but from the first test with Google Chrome, I become a fan of it. Now I use Google Chrome as standard Browser.

what Internet Browser do you use?

For the Windows 7 E buyers, will you install IE after, or will you use that option to try an other Browser??

Really had probs with chrome on Window7, it seemed slow and the tabs never worked properly.
Gone back to FF and all is good again.
Not knocking IE, but as it's not being shipped in Europe, I think FF is going to be a big winner here.

For the sake of ease and portability, I use portable FF. That way I can take it with me wherever I go. I just run it from my flash drive.

I am also running a quasar gamatron flux capacitor with twin pulse tronic phasers......jk, I have no such stuff.
I use FF 3.5, we still use IE 6 at work!! I have tried Opera, Chrome, minefield, safari, but FF has always been my favorite.

The option to install IE from an update on connection to the internet, or by an install disc that will come provided with the new OS or by pre installation by some manufactures is how it will be provided to the majority of people. Oh and the upgrade disc for Win7 can be used for clean install and will cost just £50 for UK, see the Microsoft offers site.

I tried using Chrome when it first came out, but it ran too slow and I had trouble with it. So I went back to good ole FireFox - and I love it.

This should of been a poll thread..

Having said that Firefox 3.5 without a doubt--what sells me is the security/quick updates from Mozilla and most importantly ADBLOCK PLUS...I can't live without this plug-in..once you get use to browsing the web without ads..going back to a ad ridden webpage is a downright scary thought.

IMHO IE is utter crap. It's slow in everything it does. Tho i am a performance nut and want the fastest i can get my hands on. I've used firefox in the past, but it seems just as slow and in some cases even slower. Never touched crome before. Have you ever tired apples safari? It's far better than anything else out there. After using it for a few days now I can never see myself using anything else! Check it out! Hell if it wasn't for me trying win 7 id be on a mac right now!

I use Firefox 3.5 for almost everything, unless it requires activeX. Huge fan of MS, but firefox renders everythign correctly, quickly, and has many awesome add-ons. I have forced myself to use IE7 and IE8, but I keep going back to firefox.

Bought the Dell secondhand for cheap and upgraded cpu, vga, ram, soundcard, psu and HDD's.
I've always used FF, right now I'm using both cause I'm using Tor on my FF, but normally I use FF for everything. It has always seemed to run faste and smoother than IE. Despite that recently I think it takes up more memory, oh well.
