Today is the day, we reported on this a while ago and it finally comes to be. Microsoft is going to let you chose what software to run on the PC you paid for! yes thats right, finally you shall be able to do as you wish with it, other than what M$ says you can do with it... ok  a bit over the top but you get the point. Considering I know no one still using Internet Explorer, im guessing this will focus more on the fact its a choice rather than the fact theres actually other browsers out there.

The choices are as followed : (Clickable Links)

Avant

Chrome

Firefox

Flock

Green Browser (Official site lead onto a download with porn pop up unknown at mo. check Wiki)

Internet Explorer

K-meleon

Maxthon

Opera

Safari

Sleipnir

Slim

I've only ever heard of 5 of them and what the f*ck kind of name is K-Meleon for a browser anyhow???

Various versions of melons :

"Although the update has been prepared for Windows XP, Vista and 7, not all users will see it. It will not pop up in front of those who already run a different default browser, such as Firefox, Safari or Chrome. Users guaranteed to see it are those that have Internet Explorer (IE) set as their default browser and have taken the option to let Windows automatically download and install updates"
