[Win7] Wot no IE in Europe?

According to Computer Weekly it looks like Microsoft are to release a version of Windows 7 WITHOUT a browser in Europe just to keep to the EU bureaucrats happy who’ve got nothing better to do than sit around making daft policies like this and others (like no curly bananas).

I’ll take my Windows 7 WITH IE please and if I don’t like it I’ll install something else (which begs the question if Windows 7 has no browser built-in how can you get on the Internet to download another browser instead? - Doh..!!)

Yeh how are you going to download another browser? Maybe there are binaries preloaded for common browsers? I need to know now :>

Expect to see lots of browser software titles available on the front cover discs of popular PC magazines :-)
