Win7 Euro Edition to Offer Choice of 12 Browsers
"It looks almost certain that Microsoft will be redesigning European editions of Windows 7 and its predecessors to offer users a clearer choice of which Internet browser they'd like to use. However, the changes won't be introduced until well past the October 22 launch of the new operating system (OS)."
"Under the proposed system, when people use a new Windows computer for the first time, they'll see a page explaining what a browser is. The user will then be presented with a list of 12 browsers, each with a link to information about what it offers. The user can choose to either install one browser or to install several browsers and designate one as their default option."

On the same note, it has been noted that Microsoft is seeing its browser (IE8) market share chipped away by Apple (Safari) and Mozilla (Firefox); with the later 2 gaining users steadily for the past 12 months.
