A few days ago, Microsoft's Windows 7 system, which sold European markets in response to EU demands, would not bundle IE operating systems. Recently, Microsoft has submitted a new proposal to the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/3570.html "> European Commission to try to better address antitrust issues related to IE browser and software interoperability." If the proposal is approved, it is not necessary to streamline the Windows 7 E version of IE.
According to the new proposal, if European consumers buy the Windows 7 PC with IE as the default browser, you will see a selection interface (ballot screen), where you want and need to download and install other browsers from the network, of course, you can also keep IE as the default.
If the European Commission finally accepts the new proposal, European consumers will have access to the full functionality of the Windows 7 operating system, just like users in other parts of the world, but until then, PC vendors and distributors still need to prepare Windows 7 E for the European market.
Microsoft also made public its commitment, based on the collaborative principles announced in February 2008 (Interoperability Principles), for Windows, Windows Server, Office, Exchange, Systems and software, such as SharePoint, make significant changes to better collaborate with Third-party-related software.
The European Commission welcomed Microsoft's proposal and was investigating its effectiveness, but it was unclear whether it would accept the current refusal to comment more.
Microsoft believes that the new proposal, if fully accepted by the European Commission, would address the European antitrust laws involved in Windows IE browser and collaboration, making a major breakthrough in the decades-long legal dispute, and good news for European consumers and industry partners.
At the request of the European Commission, Microsoft has published all the documentation on the new proposal on its official website.
