Big Change for Microsoft

Microsoft has announced that it will be releasing an update for its operating systems which will allow users to choose web browsers. You are most likely saying, "what's the big deal? I could always choose my web browser." Well first of all, shut your mouth, I haven't finished yet. Second, the update that Microsoft is planning on releasing will make it so that Internet Explorer will no longer be the default web browser, which means a user will be able to choose their default browser from the start without having to change it later on. This is a big deal for Microsoft, which always likes to endorse only its own products.

So now that Microsoft is offering a choice, what does the rest of the world think? The article suggests that they will now have to make a choice, which is true. However, I don't think that most of the world is dumb enough to have trouble with that, especially when you can have every web browser if you so please. This update should be a nice change. It used to be that you had to be happy with IE until you could replace it with something else.
