It appears that the EU has finally won its battle over Microsoft!
Later this year, Windows users (XP, Vista and 7), will receive an “important” update that will show a “bailout” page the first time they’ll launch Internet Explorer, if this is their default browser.

Trough this page users will be able to discover new browsers, that have at least 0,5% market share in the EU, and download them.
Nice move, although it’s only for EU customers.
