No More Windows 7 E


uropean customers will no longer be expecting to see Windows 7 E, a special version of the latest Microsoft operating system which comes without a browser. Instead, Windows 7 will ship with a browser ballot screen, which allows users to choose which application they wish to surf the web with:

"Microsoft has dumped the Internet Explorer-free version of Windows 7 that it had planned to release to the European market in the hope of appeasing antitrust regulators.
The company confirmed on Friday that after receiving nothing more than a shrug of the shoulders from the European Commission, following Microsoft’s offer to punt Windows 7 E to consumers, it has now ditched those plans.

Instead Microsoft will rely on users to make their decision about which browser they want to run on the firm’s Vista successor by using a ballot screen.

However, Redmond has made this move without the consent of the EC, whose investigations into the software vendor’s business practices rumble on."
