Well Microsoft's FUD worked. Scared everyone and then back tracked, to make the EU look like the bad guys and MS the good ..

How deeply sad.

So it will come with IE and have an opition to download other browsers


Looks like the only thing that will change is a "nag" screen.

(post attached to AEP but open question to all)

Has MS officially announced it?

ATM looks like all reports lead back to CNET.

No link, but I've no reason to doubt CNET when they say they are quoting a Microsoft spokesman.

It could very easily be true, but risky to believe only one source unless it's directly reported from the actual company.

Foolish, perhaps, but not really risky! It's not a big deal either way. Que sera sera.

Certainly keeps Win7 in the news, and that can only be good for MS.

They know a thing or two about free publicity.

most would get someone computer experienced doing it for them.

I have 6 people alone who have asked me to install windows 7 for them when they have it. Its not that diffilcult to do either, boot of the disk and install. I feel microsoft on their proposals for the s**** upgrade versions make it more complex tho.

Comparing windows 7 installer to windows xp, windows xp you had to sit there during the installation to answer questions such as cd key and lan configuration. Windows 7 will go through the entire install once you have picked the drive to install on and you get the questions right at the end instead.
