Although not likely, the user might have his/her browser on a USB stick/CD-ROM or what ever. Just good design to add it I guess. - ØØ - No, it’s windows defender 2.0 Joke aside, that was the point.

That'll be good enough for me. @NoteMe As long as the EU decides that meets with their approval, then yes, that's probably the way MS would prefer to do it. But would "cancel" just not install a browser at all? @3rd_echelon

Rather a page saying something like: "We can install a browser for you to get you up and running on internett right away. We would recommend IE. It will get you up and running fast and secure. Do you want to install IE?" Yes/ChoseOther/Cancel - ØØ - It will probably be no selection unless you ask for it. Rather a page saying something like:

They should deattach IE from OS and run IE as independent Ms windows application ( not part of windows OS ) Just throwing my opinion. It counts right?
