The internet has been abuzz the entire weekend about Microsoft supposedly forcing Internet Explorer 8 to be the default browser once you upgraded to it. Users reported that upon installing IE8, Microsoft's latest browser was automatically made the default one, without a notification. However, as it turns out, it's all been a bit overhyped.

The options are Express or Custom, not Basic and Advanced. Why would users be scared?
If you want Internet Explorer to set its self up for you they you choose the Express which you would expect would take care everything. Besides how many people installing IE don't actually want it as a default, I doubt many.
