As a result of the latest confrontation with European regulators, Microsoft has decided to sell copies of the upcoming Windows 7 Operating System in Europe without Internet Explorer. It will be the responsibility of the PC maker or end user to choose which browser they wish to use. One reason for the rejection may have been the due to what happened when Microsoft was ordered to sell a version of Windows without Windows Media Player. Microsoft sold the new version at the same price of the full version, which the European commission didn't like. When the ruling was handed down, the commission was thinking more along the lines of installing competing browsers on the Operating System, and give the users the option from there.
