Bah 

[Uncle Mort]

Still no answer to my question. I think I shall visit our IT department.

[Nick]

 

You must be desperate!! Do you really expect to get any sense out of tekkies.

















PS Take a peg!

[Uncle Mort]

I go, I come back.

They couldn't answer the question. 

I left them pondering.

[Nick]

Why am I not surprised. They will be mumbling about it all day now  

While they pick nits off one another like

Micro$oft will have to bundle an application with the OS which asks you what browser you want... It would then download your choice...

Something like this: -

Choose a web browser...

Internet Explorer
Firefox
Chrome
Some other shite

[Nick]

I assume there is a £50 charge for that information.

At least Mort can go and tell his tekkies

Quite so...

[Uncle Mort]

 

The app will still have to be a browser (lite) Also Microsoft will have to list every possible browser (how many are there?)

I shall wait for the definitive answer.

Microsoft have been told that they cannot include a web browser with Windows 7.

No IE onboard Windows 7 in Europe

European buyers of Windows 7 will have to download and install a web browser for themselves.

I'm probably missing something here but how do you get on the web to find and download a browser unless you have one already?

Within the EU, the Windows 7 range does not contain a pre-installed internet browser. One option to gain access to the internet is:
? On your current computer prior to installing Windows 7, or on another computer system, download the install file (usually a ?.exe? file) for your preferred Windows 7-compatible browser to your current system.
? Burn this file to a CD or DVD or transfer it to an external storage medium such as a flash memory drive or external hard drive.
? Install Windows 7 on your system using the instructions provided with your purchase.
? Once you have installed Windows 7 on your system insert the CD/DVD or connect the external storage device and copy the install file to your Windows 7 system.
? Run the install file to install your preferred web browser and access the internet.

And assuming you are buying your first PC which is ready loaded with Windows 7?

We all know that new 'pooters will come with some heap of shite pre-loaded.

Bloody EU wants to keep out of things it clearly doesn't understand ~ like our lives
