More Windows 7 News
Our very own Cherie has installed a preview release version of Windows 7 and discovered something a bit lol worthy.
After the EU ruled that M$ wasn't allowed to bundle Inter
net Explorer within the EU because it breaks anti-competative laws, Microsoft decided to release Windows 7 without any web browsers installed. Obviously without a web browser, you aren't able to go online and download one - as you need a browser in the first
place to get there.
So if you're doing a fresh install of Windows 7, make sure you have a copy of Google Chrome, or Firefox on a USB stick or on a CD for browser installation otherwise you'll have a whole lot of fun trying to work out how to check your e-mails.
If you're buying a new PC or laptop from a manufacturer like Dell, then this won't be an issue as they regularly install 3rd party junk like Google Desktop before shipping their systems so it would be highly unlikely they ship a system without a browser pre-installed on it.
