Web Browsers

[Uncle Mort]

Microsoft have been told that they cannot include a web browser with Windows 7.

No IE onboard Windows 7 in Europe

European buyers of Windows 7 will have to download and install a web browser for themselves.

I'm probably missing something here but how do you get on the web to find and download a browser unless you have one already?

It sounds like the Tannoy message I heard in a factory once.

"This is a test message, if you can't hear it, tell your supervisor"

Or the press adverts in the 70s for the Adult Literacy Scheme.

' Can't read? Then call 0171 etc'

Or the recorded voice on my Internet Provider's telephone help line that says "For assistance with your internet connection please see our web page or email to www. etc"

Yup

To a degree I can see a point to the argument. Bundling IE with Windows does give them an advantage as it's convenient for the average company or non techie user. Its probably the most used pc browser with Opera & Firefox next and a couple of oddballs using Chrome

But what about my question.

I am not an oddball!

I use Chrome now too. The 'Upgrade' for IE was a disaster
