I thought MS agreed to have a drop down list when insalling Windows 7 to pacify the EU.
Yesterday when I installed Windows it just installed IE without asking me.
Any ideas what's going on there?

I believe the Commission has still yet to accept the proposal. Once it does the proposal will be implemented.

Nope I never got a "choice" box when I installed mine and was also surprised by that. Thinking about it the laptop I installed Win7 on at work last Friday didn't ask me either  _________________

When it is finally agreed upon, it will also appear on XP and Vista installs, as well as existing 7 installs. New installs of 7 should then also ask...

For 7, there will probably be new media released, but for Vista, XP and existing 7 installations, a mandatory patch will be pushed out, which will let users chose...
