Apparantly the european windows7 is coming with no IE and no obvious way of getting it or any other browser.

It's so stupid. Most of the people who this is targetting (those that "don't know any better" (than IE)) buy OEM anyway, and I'm betting the large majority of these OEM pcs will come with IE preinstalled anyway.

So basically this is just another new windows annoyance.

Small price to pay to stop Microsoft's evil monopoly with their free browser. It totally stops mozilla from selling their free browser.

Either way, smart money says it'll be an optional upgrade off integrated windows update or something.

But it's fucking stupid. Not a bad thing if they made it less integrated with windows, so you can uninstall it when you want, but they aren't making anyone do anything, by it being there from the start.

Unless you happen to be some kind of weak willed mong who can't manage downloading something else just because there's a browser in, I guess.
