Microsoft do not have any restrictions that stop the vendor installing an alternative browser OR even include an alternative browser when they preinstall Windows.

The latest news is that Microsoft will offer a disk that contains IE8 and other software (Windows essentials etc) at the point of sale. It will then be a matter of choice to the customer.
Take it or leave it and install an alternative.

This gives Opera the opportunity to supply their browser on disk at the point of sale.

firefox 2.0 gets my vote

3.0 would crash to much, so I went back to 2.0 :up:

Ditto. 3.0 definately needs some work

Must admit, even though I use both, the FF3 series has never been as good as the FF2 series.
FF3 is very slow to open and quite often locks up on my box. Never had that problem with the FF2 series.

Firefox imo.....
I hate IE, it looks bad, cant customize it....

I only use IE for programming needs. After I code, I check it on multiple browsers...

So, people, can someone answer my question?

You buy a new PC in the EU with windows 7. So, how do you surf the web since you have no browser???

And more important: How do you download and install the browser of choice without a browser. ;)
