EU wants multiple browser bundling on new PCs
« on: May 30, 2009, 11:49:12 PM »
"The EU is considering forcing Windows users to choose a browser to download and install before they can first browse the Internet, according to The Wall Street Journal (subscription required). While the latest Windows 7 builds let you uninstall IE8, "third-party browser makers like Opera, Mozilla and Google are pushing for tough sanctions against Microsoft. The EU would rather have a "ballot screen" for users to choose which browsers to download and install as well as which one to set as default. The bundling requirement might end up becoming a responsibility for manufacturers."

If the EU elects to do this, then I think we should have a choice in engines that are put in Mercedes Benz, BMW, VW and all cars manufactured in the EU...javajolt

For goodness sake Windows is a Microsoft product, why should they be forced to put products that are not theirs into Windows>  The EU is just a bunch of idots !
