[Offtopic] EU wants MSFT to put other browsers in Windows

[Roland Gesthuizen]

I know we co-install Firefox / Safari in on equipment here. It sounded like
a prudent precaution on our administration computes considering the security
incident last year when we could not use IE for two weeks. An interesting
article below indicates that the EU will be forcing MS to deploy Windows 7
with other browsers (Firefox / Opera / Safari ?) hmmm :-)

Regards Roland
