I simply cannot grokk these browser yobs. Really cannot.

First off, Opera whines to the desmids at the EU Directorate for Quashing American Inventiveness about Windows 7 shipping with an included browser.

As usual, they are granted an audience by those numbskulls who immediately try to harm Microsoft.

A wiser Microsoft relents, and decides to give not just Opera, but several browser manufacturers a menu.

That’s when their brotherly love and unity stopped!

First, a mouthpiece for Mozilla freaked out, complaining that Microsoft's decision to present an alphabetized list – by manufacturer – of browsers to end users, somehow shortchanged Mozilla since, you know, Mozilla started with an ‘M’, and the #1 choice presented to users would be Apple’s Safari!

Really, I’m so not making this up!

After that tempest blew over, supposedly, these nits have glommed on to a new issue: the fact that the list of browsers are presented within Microsoft’s IE.

Man, what a tough row for Microsoft to hoe!

What hasn’t been answered is a simple question for me: does Microsoft ship every browser with its OS in the EU? Or, more importantly, how do the diatoms at the EU expect users to go online without a browser to download a browser?

Brought to you by the same drones who created Windows N edition.

Go figure!
