The European Commission has ruled that Microsoft will have to begin offering its users a choice when it come to internet browsers. Microsoft announced that over the next few week it will be offering a “Web browser choice screen” that will offer users the choice of other internet browsers. This includes Safari, Firefox, Opera and Google Chrome.

Most of you reading this will probably be thinking, so what, I wouldn’t touch IE with a barge pole, no big deal. Millions of people in Europe are not quite as internet savy and will use IE as standard. It will never have even crossed their minds that there is an alternative internet browser out there. This ruling has been on the card for a while now and is probably why we have seen Google Chrome adverts everywhere.
