Microsoft will offer Windows 7 without IE in Europe
Puget Sound Business Journal (Seattle) - by Todd Bishop

TechFlash

Bowing to regulatory pressure, Microsoft Corp. plans to offer the upcoming Windows 7 operating system in Europe without Internet Explorer, a company representative confirmed Thursday.

It's a significant shift by the Redmond computer giant (NASDAQ: MSFT) on an issue that traces its roots to its landmark U.S. antitrust case. Competitors argue that the company's inclusion of its web browser in its dominant operating system gives Internet Explorer an unfair edge. The practice has been under renewed scrutiny since rival browser maker Opera Software filed a complaint with the European Commission in December 2007.
