All Internet Explorer users should choose once again if they really want to use IE

It seems Microsoft under press of EU rules is going to publish a madnatory update to ask the users who have Internet Explorer as standard web browser if they want to continue with it. According to Microsoft windows director in Norway there will be a message saying what a web browser is and showing all the alternatives in a random order. The patch is applied to XP, Vista and Widnwos 7.
