Internet Explorer Browser 8 To Be Optional On Windows 7

Our Comments

Interesting development and probably the result of the softening stance adopted by Microsoft. Windows 7 is quickly shaping up to become the biggest Windows launch ever and nothing, absolutely NOTHING, can come in the way. That includes the European Union. Which is why, rather than dissing them and making them even angrier, Microsoft has chosen to play it soft. Will that trash Opera and Google's argument about Microsoft denying Windows users, "a real choice of browser"? Let's see.
