Microsoft will ship IE-less Windows 7 in Europe

Look, what an antitrust charge does it to you. After being fined heftily by European Commission for abusing its monopolistic position, Microsoft wants to play it safe. They have announced not to bundle their IE8 browser along with the next iteration of Windows which will hit in October.

“To ensure that Microsoft is in compliance with European law, Microsoft will be releasing a separate version of Windows 7 for distribution in Europe that will not include Windows Internet Explorer.”

This obviously is an interesting move and could hurt IE’s market share greatly. Mozilla, Google, Opera already celebrating?

  • Microsoft releases IE11 Developer Preview for Windows 7
  • Internet Explorer 9 releasing on March 14
  • Internet Explorer 8 releasing today
  • IE8 now removable in Windows 7
