Personaly i dont mind the Internet Explorer of Microsoft i am still using it.
Further signaling its willingness to settle its antitrust case with the government, software maker Microsoft Corp. on Wednesday said it will give PC manufacturers more flexibility in configuring desktop versions of its Windows operating system. |
In response to the ruling, which upheld a lower court's finding that Microsoft had illegally maintained its monopoly power in desktop operating systems, the company said it will now allow PC makers licensing its operating system software the option to remove the "Start-menu" entries and icons that provide end users with access to its Internet Explorer Web browser.
Further, Microsoft said it will include Internet Explorer, which is included with its operating system software, in the "Add/Remove programs" feature in Windows XP, scheduled for release this fall. Current versions of Windows do not allow users to remove the program.
Microsoft also said it will give PC makers the option to add icons for software and services to the Windows XP desktop, where it previously had planned to ship the new product with a "clean desktop."
