Google said disabling IE8 is not enough. Windows should be pre-installed with multiple browsers.

According to foreign media reports, competitors such as Google and Opera said that disabling IE8 in Windows 7 is far from enough. Microsoft should pre-Install multiple browsers in Windows.

Microsoft confirmed on April 9, 6th day of this month that the next-generation operating system Windows 7 will allow users to disable applications such as the IE 8 browser and the Windows mediaplayer player. Microsoft did not comment on whether this was the result of investigations by anti-monopoly agencies such as the European Union.

However, from the perspective of Windows application components that allow users to disable, many of them are applications that have been complained by competitors for a long time and have been concerned by the European Union, such as InternetExplorer8, Windows Media Player, and XPS.

In response, JonvonTetzchner, CEO of Opera, said Microsoft's move was far from enough. In addition to IE, Microsoft should also pre-install other browsers in Windows, but he does not specify which brands of browsers should be pre-installed.

Another competitor, Google, also supports this view. A Google spokesman said in an email: "The Internet must be open to provide more choices for users. Therefore, as long as the user is on the machine, it should be able to conveniently and quickly use multiple browsers ."
