| 781784 | 2009-06-12 22:28:00 | Ms has just said that the European flavour of Win 7 will NOT include Internet Explorer read more here (news.bbc.co.uk) | gary67 (56) | ||
| 781785 | 2009-06-12 23:21:00 | Some people are never happy - they complain that MS bundle products that they are forced to use -- what a load of crap. If you dont want to use IE then dont - whats the problem ? Same goes for the Email - people complain about Outlook Express / Windows mail -- so MS are not including it in W7 -- I can see the phone calls now-- WHERES my email, I cant find it --- then you have to tell the people they have to download a client. (It'll be fun and games). |

If you dont want to use IE then dont - whats the problem ? Isn't some of the issue that IE code is embedded in other than just IE in Windows? In which case, the Win7Euro will be an "interesting" flavour.... Same goes for the Email - people complain about Outlook Express / Windows mail -- so MS are not including it in W7 -- I can see the phone calls now-- WHERES my email, I cant find it --- then you have to tell the people they have to download a client. (It'll be fun and games). Opportunities for techs to 'assist' users who know nothing (which covers about 50% of all users) will abound. As will online companies springing up to sell email client products of dubious quality. |

| 781787 | 2009-06-12 23:52:00 | Yeah, I don't get their attitude. An OS should come with those tools, and the company who develops the OS should have the right to bundle their own tools. Hell, I'd support their right to do so even if they configured it so those were the only tools you could use. |

Who wants to join my new company?, we will be developing an email client called Easymail. I figure we just buy the rights to the cheapest existing email client and re-skin it, re-route all support calls to India and rake in the billions. |

I wonder whether the EU stops mobile phone manufacturers from shipping web browsers with their smartphones? |

I am wondering that too, I posted the link to see what you all think of the move by the EU not because I agree with it. I am applying for a job with easymail |

| 781791 | 2009-06-13 06:34:00 | Ok, so they buy the computer with the stripped down W7. Now they go home, setup the computer. Now they can use I.E to download their favourite alternative browser. Wait... What? :xmouth: |

Wait... What? :xmouth: yep -- so two options, use another PC to download the Browser of choice OR the PC manufactures or MS will have to put a link on the desktop that will download and Install IE without needing a browser in the first place. OH HOLD ON !!! Thats Microsoft abusing its market position AGAIN :rolleyes: |
