Microsoft could offer multiple web browser options in Europe in Windows 7
Microsoft has taken some drastic steps with their Windows 7 operating system to pacify the European Commission.
The company has now proposed a scenario where a user would get a ballot screen to pick the web browser he wants to install on his machine at the time of installation of the operating system.
The European Commission said: “Microsoft has proposed a consumer ballot screen as a solution to the pending antitrust case about the tying of Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser with Windows.”
Microsoft added: “We believe that if ultimately accepted, this proposal will fully address the European competition law issues relating to the inclusion of Internet Explorer in Windows and interoperability with our high-volume products.”
This plan could include rival browsers like Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera Browser. Microsoft of course would have their own edition Internet Explorer.
Europe, European Commission, european union, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Microsoft, Mozilla Firefox, opera browser, Web Browsers, Windows 7
