Pointless. Is there a similar update for Apple's OS? I'm guessing no.
Amen. Fancy an OcUK funded trip to the EU Parliament to explain this?It is ridiculous. Those who know better go and get whatever browser they want. Those who don't, don't care.
Bear in mind that over 10% of people still use internet exploder v6
In other words: a substantial proportion of the zombie-pcs host to bot-nets.
For fear of losing market share, Microsoft have so far only tried to move people to IE 7 or 8. It's ridiculous they've this irresponsible till now.
Can you uninstall IE8 under Win7?
Microsoft chose to do this and not the EU.
I got this today with Win7 but not XP... I was already using Chrome portable and it still made me choose.

Got to be honest, i just don't bother with the Microsoft updates. I let it tell me there are new ones available but i never update them.

I got some updates yesterday but this one wasn't there. Why am I so special?
IE6 !
Because OSX doesn't have the 90% market share Windows has. It's the same with all these anti-competitive rulings, for a company to abuse their position they have to have a position to abuse.OSX ships with Safari, how is that any different? EU can die in the face.
When the browser choice page popped-up for web designer Richard Quick, he decided to try out some of the lesser known programs on offer.
While installing and using them he noticed that many were based around a core technology, known as a rendering engine, built and maintained by Microsoft. The firm's Internet Explorer (IE) uses the Trident engine.
"If you choose IE you will get pages rendered the IE way," he said. "But if you choose these browsers you will get the pages rendered the IE way too."
Mr Quick said he had sent a complaint about the choices to the European Commission.
A Microsoft spokesman declined to comment on Mr Quick's findings but directed the BBC towards public documents which set out how the choice of browsers was made.
