Star Microsoft To Offer Browser Ballot, Caves to EU Pressure
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 24th Jul 2009 21:07 UTC
Windows The browser saga between Microsoft, the EU, and various browser makers just got a new chapter. We all know how the EU and Microsoft are in a legal tussle over the inclusion of Internet Explorer with Windows. Microsoft surprised everyone in June by announcing that Windows 7 would ship without Internet Explorer in Europe, a move it had hoped would silence the EU. The EU and Opera, however, were not impressed, and now Microsoft has caved in to the pressure.

aah, i don't like this at all. i'm an opera user since version 6, but opera is just going nuts about this...

but ok, let them have it. how do we choose the browsers? easy, let's use the same rule as most democracies for the parliament elections - a 5% minimum.

so according to:
http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_stats.asp

with IE6 and IE7 being obsolete and sorting alphabetically, we'll get a ballot with:

Chrome
Firefox
IE

there. good luck opera.
