RE: EC responds to Microsoft's browser move
What did anyone expect? That is what the EU asked Microsoft to do. If they had gone with a list of possible browsers that could be installed then what would happen if they create the list, make all the install disks and then another browser comes to market and they are not included on the install. Microsoft are then in trouble again.
I think it's quite amusing really. New PC's will still come with a browser. If you are upgrading an old machine, then it will keep your existing browser; the only problem would be for someone purchasing Windows to put on a machine they build themselves or to do a clean install. Either way, if they are that tech savvy, then they will know to get a browser before they start.
