mindwhip writes "As of 1st March EU users of XP, Vista and Windows 7 will be presented with the long awaited one time browser choice.
"Millions of people who have never really thought about which browser to use will now be forced to make a choice," said BBC technology correspondent Rory Cellan-Jones on his blog.
"That presents Microsoft's rivals with a unique marketing opportunity."
Is this choice really a good thing? It it a Marketing opportunity for Microsoft? Or will it just result in support headaches, for business, computer manufacturers and websites, when first time computer users select one of the less compatible browsers?"
