Ok so anyone who uses windows and has Internet Explorer as their default browser will have had an update asking them if they want to use an alternative browser.

This has been done as Microsoft lost a court case and have been told to allow users the choice of which browser to use.

What it doe snot tell you is even though lets say you choose Firefox to sue instead, you still need to have internet explorer to do updates. The windows update app on Vista and Windows 7 use the Internet Explorer Engine to do updates and the windows update website itself wont work with any other browser as it runs an ActiveX object which only Internet Explorer can Run

So Microsoft are giving you the choice of which browser to use to surf the web but still force you to us Internet Explorer.
