Windows 7 E version

I think it may have been mentioned somwhere before, the Windows 7 E edition is now scrapped.
The good news is all pre-orders will still receive the full version.

It appears that is the case.

That's good news.

Wonder how the Windows 7 manuals will deal with this choice of browser. Usually its assumed that noobs will start off with IE and there's barely a mention of any other browsers.

Ditto helpdesks such as those for ISP's. Woud guess they still insist you use IE for any diagnostic tests etc.

I still think IE8 should be installed as a default browser - just to get everyone up and running.

It will be. The browser ballot will be a nag box from Windows Update. You will also see it on Vista and XP early next year.
