Yeah, if you go to browserchoice.eu, and hit refresh the order changes each time.
reactosguy:
Flip.
Microsoft can't do this for the whole world using Windows 7 and IE 8? Ridiculous.
I thought Steve Ball(s)mer was going to do that.
If only Mozilla sold their software for free as well.

It's kind of an embarrassment to them. Microsoft will never do the right thing, unless they're ordered so by a large country or union. If only Denmark or Germany had ordered them for example, they would have fought it to the bone.
Aloone_Jonez:
Any government could just tell Microsoft that if they don't adhere to their demands they'll ban the sale of their products or void the copyright protection of their software, opening the door for shameless piracy. This wouldn't happen in real life because trade agreements exist between different countries and the US which would stop this kind of thing.
Calum:
and also because virtually everybody working as a civil servant anywhere has got the microsoft fear (i mean, they think it's impossible to exist without having ms windows, and/or IE installed on every computer, they just can't understand any other possibility).
