A while ago EU commission sets that Microsoft should remove Internet Explorer from Windows so that the user can decide which browser to use. But if to look at the problem from the different angle? Use that does not have IE could not update download updates for his Windows from update.microsoft.com so he will have to install IE in any case to do that. I have a question – was that really user-friendly decision? I think that either they have to push Microsoft to make update website work for any browser or not to make them remove IE from the package. The first one could be much more reasonable. Imagine the car manufacturer for instance Audi and Air Conditioner Unite producer “Company A” that provides A/c for Audi. Imagine that EU commision will make Audi not to put A/C in their car so that the buyer can choose – may be he would like “Company B” a/c unit in his car. Funny, isn’t it?
BTW here is one interesting document from EU:
http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=CELEX:32001L0113:En:HTML
It says that “for the purposes of this Directive, tomatoes, the edible parts of rhubarb stalks, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, pumpkins, melons and water-melons are considered to be fruit“.
