MS to allow for a Web Browser Ballot in their OS

[Eastcoasthandle]

I must admit I am glad that they are going to cater for some sort of browser in Windows 7 E as the very thought of an OS with NO browsing facility (be it via a ballot or Windows Update) was pretty nonsensical.
I still do not see the issue of having IE bundled with the OS anyway (I mean you can uninstal it from programs and features if you wish to remove it)

From my understanding IE is integrated into XP, Vista, etc. So you cannot uninstall it. That was the whole problem in a nutshell.

You can read more about what you can do if you don't want IE8 for example, here. This will IMO make Win7 E a sought after OS as it should mean that IE will no longer be integrated in the OS.
