A web browser must be included with Windows so that other web browsers can be downloaded. Are they going to force Microsoft to host a public FTP with the IE setup program? Oh wait... it will be unlawful to bundle an FTP client with Windows.
BTW, Windows marketshare is around 88% now, not 95%.

You don't need a web browser to download other browsers, there are other ways to do that.

Microsoft could create some post-installation wizard where you can choose which browser you'd like to use. They could even bundle them with installation media. They do similar things nowadays with web service provider setup in new IE. Windows 7 is already stripped of lots of apps which are downloadable via Windows Live.
