I'm so installing Opera.
Microsoft will ship versions of Windows 7 in Europe without Internet Explorer stitched in. So says Microsoft Vice President and Deputy General Counsel, Dave Heiner in a posting.
"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."
Some versions, of course, will ship with the browser. Let's see how many are without versus with, and let's see how retail pushes the former to you.
