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.

From there you can download whatever you wish. :) But in two years time, the EU will fine Microsoft for having icons shipped with the operating system...

I sincerely hope so. Having IE is available as a control is just excellent, if you want to integrate some webpage/service into your desktop app.

Or force them to put Opera, Safari and Firefox icons next to the IE8 icon.

The totally stupid thing is that all Microsoft can be blamed for in this regard is that they were the first to recognize a desktop OS needs a browser.

That's just not feasible, and it's silly. How come Apple isn't shot to hell for shipping Safari with their OS? People who care about their browser will download whatever they wish to use. People who don't will be happy they can surf right away.

Don't you keep Firefox portable on a USB stick like everyone else?
I always lose the stick.

Because they aren't a monopoly. If they become a monopoloy then they'll have to abide by the monopoly laws. If they abuse the laws then they'll get slapped/fined/ordered around.

Pretty much. I don't agree with the EU or Microsoft, both are making it harder for customers, not better or even easier.

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
