 		 #176755 - They did send out that browser chooser
Responding to: ???'s previous message

In Europe, MS considered adding a ballot-style browser chooser to the Windows install, but dropped their plans due to complaints from manufacturers (according to wikipedia).

Dropped their plans. Possibly so, but not before first having sent out that ballot-style browser chooser. It didn't have any choice "Make selection another time" or "Get lost, I don't want to see you". On one of my machines, it "helpfully" unpinned IE from the menu and taskbar without asking for permission, just noting that the pinning could easily be redone by the computer owner. But if the computer owner doesn't know how to pin an application?
