What would you choose?

So the time has come where computers won't necessarily be presumed to be owned by an Internet Explorer user.

I don't actually see the point of neglecting to add one - I think it's pretty fair that a Microsoft OS should have a Microsoft browser included in it.

I don't use IE, opting for Mozilla FireFox myself. Still have IE on the system, but rarely do I use it. If a computer doesn't come with a web-browser automatically, how would you get to choose what one you want to install? :p

EDIT: I should have read it more carefully - you get a choice screen on set-up.

Still, if I want to try the others, I just download them as and when required...

I know what you mean, even if others wouldn't... :)

Well the update has been installed to my PC, it forceably 'unpinned' my browser from my taskbar and told me I must choose a browser out of the big named ones.

Are people of the world so thick that they can't choose anyway?

I know IE is the default for Windows, but if they really cared about their browsers, they'd change to their preference (if IE isn't already their preference) without the need for a prompt...

I think it's more of a crime that Microsoft Windows features its own version of Paint.

I think someone should come up with some kind of alternative software that allows your to edit your pictures...some kind of photo...shop...software.

Nah, that's crazy talk :P
