Microsoft recently annouced that there new operating system will not ship with Internet Explorer. The Browser gaints such as Mozilla won the case so Microsoft cannot bundle their own browser into the OS.
Consumers will have to choose if they want IE or if they want they can choose another one instead. This means that other companies have a chance of getting their product on your computer. According to the software giant it is going to be an easy to install process which you have to opt into. He also added that they just want to comply with the European law.
Statisttics show that IE hold a 65% of all web browsing while Firefox holds 22.5%. Apple's Safari has 8.5% and Chrome has 1.8% while other browsers such as Opera and Netscape have less that one percent.
One of the things that bug me is that how Apple can get away, in one of my previuos posts I say that Apple also bundle their own browser (Safari) but they can get away, they also bundle many other products yet they aren't in the lime light, Mircosoft have to take out IE but Apple doesnt have to take out Safari.
Why is this?
