Microsoft IE8 makes concessions to allow users to choose a default browser

In the 18 News of July, Microsoft responded to a wide range of criticisms, allowing IE 8 browsers not to default on users ' wishes.　　For users who have set other browsers as their default browsers, the IE 8 installer now asks users if they want to make IE 80% the new default browser. Microsoft's Thursday (July 16) blog announced that the "shortcut settings" provided when IE was previously installed may not provide any hint on IE 8 as the default browser, although the client settings will explicitly raise the issue.　　Now, this shortcut setting will raise the issue. Microsoft said that no user's explicit consent, IE browser will never be installed as the default browser. However, we received a lot of feedback from many different groups of people and organizations, and decided to let users explicitly choose the default browser.　　Users who have set IE 8 as the default browser do not see this ScreenTip. Microsoft said the change would not be built in the normal IE 8 installation, but will be available in the upgrade process starting in August of this year.　　The IE 8 installer will ask the user to see the update when it is installed, and 90% will choose to view the update. John Lilly, chief executive of Mozilla, one of Microsoft's rivals, praised Microsoft's move. ' It's a good change, ' he said in a Thursday post posted on Twitter.　　Microsoft has finally done the right thing with the IE 8 upgrade program. Author: Tianhong
