Star Opera, Google Not Satisfied with IE8 'Turn off Switch'
Linked by Thom Holwerda on Thu 12th Mar 2009 17:04 UTC
Internet & Networking Following the EU investigation into Internet Explorer's inclusion in Windows, Microsoft made it possible to "turn off" Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7, by removing the executable and every mention of the browser from the system. According to Opera and Google, this is nice, but not enough.

If Opera had their way, they would legistlate away all their competition, which I find disgusting. And while I understand why microsoft is all flustered about google owning the internet, I don't see why google gets all silly about stuff like this. They did the same thing with sueing MS about the search button on the start menu a year or two back. Silly, stupid, and pointless, other then to tweak microsofts nose.

I could always choose what browser I wanted, whenever I so wished. I don't know what the option is called in Vista, but in 2k and XP it was and still is known as "Set Program Access and Defaults."


"Default Programs" lives between "Help and Support" and "Control Panel" on the start menu in vista.
