Windows 7 and Browser Choice in Europe

After all of these antitrust stuff, Microsoft decided to provide Windows 7 users in Europe a browser selection screen. You can read more about it at:

• Windows 7 and Browser Choice in Europe – Microsoft On The Issues
• European Windows 7 buyers getting browser choice after all – VISTA …
• Microsoft offers choice of browsers in Windows 7 to satisfy EU
• Microsoft will now add browser choice to Windows 7 for Europe …

I think the browser descriptions in the screenshot is somewhat misleading or biased, they all say they are the best browser. Instead, they should say what unique features do they have.

When I (or maybe you) was a newbie, I think Internet Explorer was the only Web browser in the world. Microsoft fooled us. That’s why the browser selection screen was made.

The browser selection screen was only in Europe, maybe it will be implemented in North America soon.
