A few years ago
Microsoft got taken to town by the EU and was forced to offer up “browser ballot” selections screens for downloading an alternative browser for consumers in the EU.
At the time of the ruling, Microsoft was well entrenched in the browser wars but the market today looks dramatically different than that of when the ruling was issued. Well, during an update (post Windows Service Pack 1) the browser ballot screen vanished, which was against the wishes of the EU ruling and they are looking to drop the hammer, once again, on Microsoft.
