              This blog post from MS http://windowsteamblog.com/blogs/windows7/archive/2009/06/12/information-regarding-windows-7-in-europe.aspx[^]

              Given the pending legal proceeding, we’ve decided that instead of including Internet Explorer in Windows 7
              in Europe, we will offer it separately and on an easy-to-install
              basis to both computer manufacturers and users.
              This means that computer manufacturers and users
              will be free to install Internet Explorer on Windows 7,
              or not, as they prefer. Of course, they will also be free,
              as they are today, to install other Web browsers.(...)

              The E versions of Windows 7 will include all the features and functionality of Windows 7
              in the rest of the world, other than browsing with Internet Explorer.
              Computer manufacturers will be able to add any browser they want to their Windows 7 machines,
              including Internet Explorer, so European consumers who purchase new PCs
              will be able to access the Internet without any problem.

                Hmm, I'm afraid that might not work if IE is not present on the system. It depends whether they will remove all parts (dll's) of IE, or just the UI front end for the "European" release of Win7

                    I would presume that all the back code would remain, as this is supports VBA apps for XL and Word etc.

                      This cuts to the heart of the matter. I presume no browser means that this won't work, so it will be like Windows Media Player ( WPF does not work under XP if you use the Media Element and don't install WMP 10, nor does it give you any sort of intelligent message regarding the fact ). Which is, obviously, a nightmare.

                          I don't doubt it. MS may have removed the IE UI but I don't imagine for one moment that they have removed its inner workings from the install.

                              Basically, it's back to the 90s again. :) I guess, however, that the vast majority of consumers will get Windows 7 only with a new PC and the OEM will supply them with IE on a disc or pre-install it. The small minority who buy Windows upgrades may do your possibilities 1 and 2. :)

                                    I don't doubt it. MS may have removed the IE UI but I don't imagine for one moment that they have removed its inner workings from the OS.

                                    There are bound to be scenarios that haven't been foreseen though. MS do tend to make things overly interdependent. My guess is that the vast majority of OEMs will just install IE anyway and then offer other browsers at customers' request. Personally, I'd rather have IE pre-installed anyway, even though it's not my default. MS is not known for its quick installs. So let the OEM do it. :)

                                        How am I going to download Opera? :rolleyes:

                                        They'll probably make it an optional download as part of Windows Update (which doesn't use IE in Vista and 7).

                                          Just for Dave: I don't doubt it. MS may have removed the IE UI but I don't imagine for one moment that they have removed its inner workings from the install.
