---- IE Won't Be Bundled With Windows 7 In Europe

That question came to mind carguy84; how does the average joe get a browser without having a browser to download one? Not everybody knows how to FTP by command-line (try fetching a GUI FTP client without a browser)... I guess there will be a 'download IE' shortcut on the desktop or in windows update. I for one will just transfer firefox to my USB drive, but all in all it would be nice if the EU actually had given some thought to this issue. I find it unbelievable that MS is not allowed to decide how they ship their own product. Now the users are paying the price.

This kind of downright stupidity is exactly what feeds euroscepsis from both inside and outside the EU.
