Apparently Microsoft forgot again...lol...

Microsoft kept on forgetting to do this for 15 months until it was finally caught. The company may face some dire consequences over the mistake, but the damage has already been done.

For more than a year, Windows customers were not able to pick the browser they wanted or, even worse, were unaware that they had a choice.

quite humorous but I guess there are those that if not given a choice wouldnt know there were any other browsers.If that was the case though if they were given a choice they would probably choose IE anyway,not knowing what the others were.Fair is fair Microsoft has to play by the rules

And... no one cares.

Everyone I know who uses the internet uses a non-IE browser, unless it's a school or college.

everyone you know might,but i doubt whether you know 9 million people! it is monopolistic good to hear that EU cares.

I meant from the sites I use, I see 1000's of people using Chrome or Firefox.

Edit: And by 1000's, I mean non-tech savvy users.

Even tough IE's new version released, so many users have great experience from non IE browsers so they picked and enjoy for a lifetime.
