For most people, this will not be an issue

95% of users will get Windows 7, when they purchase a new PC. The PC maker will have already installed a browser, so there is no issue. If the user doesn't like what the PC maker has pre-installed, they download a different browser, and uninstall the pre-installed browser.

The remaining 5%, will be upgrading an existing machine to Windows 7. You could argue that people capable of doing an OS upgrade are most likely technically savvy enough to figure out the browser part. However, it probably would be better to have a simple mechanism to do this. It appears that the specifics of this mechanism is still a work in progress.
