Internet Explorer to be 'optional' in Windows 7

According to blogs posted by several windows 7 beta testers recently, Windows 7 will have a large list of programs which may be disabled entirely from windows, and hence will not be compulsory. An example of this in previous Windows OS's is of course Internet Explorer. Any time you try to click on a link from MS word for example, IE launches, and not your default browser. This wouldn't bother me so much, if IE wasn't vastly inferior to the alternatives.





Personally, I prefer to use Mozilla's Firefox. Its vast array of addons alone really sell it for me. Since firefox is an open-source technology, anybody, literally anybody, can create addons and plugins for it. This means that if you have ever thought of a usefull feature you wish your web browser should have, then somebody has probably already made it. I will post another blog soon enough with a list of my favourite addons and plugins, and why they are great!





Long live Firefox!
