Last week, the European Commission announced that Microsoft is willing to implement a browser ballot screen in Windows so that users can select a browser to install when installing Windows or when setting up their OEM computer. While this makes Opera very happy, Opera would like to see Ubuntu and Apple offer such a ballot screen too.

If trident is fully stripped it would break more than just browsers that wrap it. There are many applications out there that rely on it for one thing or another. Help files are typically chm which the app would then have to provide their own rendering engine just for help functionality.
I think MS should just sell a version of windows without any brower. No ballots, no links that will help download one. If Opera is going to be difficult, MS could just make it more difficult for the user to get ANY browser.
