Windows 7E users can select Browser- Ballot screen Posted: 25 Jul 2009 07:45 AM PDT Share on Facebook You might have read about the news that Windows 7E i.e Windows for European countries don’t come with a browser as compared to default Internet Explore which comes shipped with Windows 7.Windows 7 will now ship only to European countries as a result of a disagreement between the European Union and Microsoft. European unions suggestion was that Microsoft should not (only) include Internet Explorer in Windows 7 to give consumers more choice in selecting different browser as per their choice. One of the commissions suggestion was a so called ballot screen that would give customers an option to select from several different web browsers to be installed on the operating system. The initial response of Microsoft was to remove Internet Explorer from Windows 7 so that users in the European Union would be left with no web browser after installation of the operating system. Microsoft suggested that a ballot screen would be displayed after the Windows 7 installation (which would install Internet Explorer as the default browser) giving consumers the chance to install another web browser.Here is a quote Under our new proposal, among other things, European consumers who buy a new Windows PC with Internet Explorer set as their default browser would be shown a 'ballot screen' from which they could, if they wished, easily install competing browsers from the Web. If this proposal is ultimately accepted, Microsoft will ship Windows in Europe with the full functionality available in the rest of the world. As requested by the Commission, we will be publishing our proposal in full here on our website as soon as possible. A mock up screen is showne below which shows Opera, Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari as the different options.What do you feel, is this right on Microsoft’s behalf.Pour in your comments for the same.
