For retail purchases

The EU is concerned that this will make it difficult for the retail purchaser, here is a solution. Include a seperate CD in each box with IE on it and a final screen on the Windows install script which states:

"INTERNET EXPLORER 8 IS AVAILABLE ON THE COMPANION CD. ALTERNATIVE BROWSER'S ARE AVAILABLE FROM FOLLOWING MANUFACTURES:
FIREFOX: WWW.MOZILLA.COM
OPERA: WWW.OPERA.COM
SAFARI: WWW.APPLE.COM/SAFARI/DOWNLOAD/
ECT...
THERE MAY BE OTHER BROWSER OPTIONS AVAILABLE FROM ADDITIONAL SOURCES UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF THIS MANUFACTURE."

There is your choice, your notification of atlernatives. Of course this will infuriate EU politicians, but it will meet their requirements.
Anything else is the tantamount to saying "ALL BMW AND MECERDES DEALERS WILL ALSO BE REQUIRED TO CARRY CADILLAC, ACURA, INFINITY, LEXUS, ect...)
