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.

Agreed. The only thing in the whole article I can agree with is the reference to it being a storm in a teacup. I installed IE8 and while it's not going to be my main browser anytime soon (I'm an Opera 10 alpha user) I *am* glad that it is both a UI and standards upgrade for IE. It's not good, but it IS slightly less horrible.

I read the choices, and I selected custom. Then I chose whatever options I wanted. I can't even believe that this is a story...
