Well, even the biggest industry giants sometimes learn things the harder way. At least, Microsoft has done it this time around, as its latest Windows 7 Operating System has got issues in the European market with the IE browser flagship. Indeed, a big lawsuit can most certainly changes things pretty quickly, and in this case, they’re planning to launch the Windows 7 OS without its flagship Internet Explorer browser, in Europe!
Sounds weird, ain’t it? Well, sure thing nobody has seen any Windows Operating System without the built-in IE browser support, but this time around things are going to be different just to comply with the latest European lawsuit.
Microsoft will be releasing a separate edition of Windows 7 with IE browser flagship, and they’ll make IE8 available free of cost as an additional plug-in, which anybody would be able to install and integrate with the Windows 7 Operating System quite effortlessly.
Of course, everyone will have the option to install multiple browsers as per the personal choice, but it will most certainly be weird to receive a Windows OS without the IE browser.
Although, this piece of news is not yet official, but many online sources have claimed about the authenticity of this news, at least for the European market.
Sure thing, Microsoft wouldn’t really make the same mistake twice, so things are supposed to be different in the Asian as well as other markets.
