Computers with Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows Vista will be automatically offered a software update which they can download and then choose from a range of web browsers as an alternate to the default Internet Explorer.
Rory Cellan-Jones, a BBC technology correspondent, commenting on this development in his blog says that it is a time of choice for European users.

After a user picks the browser he wants, a shortcut icon will appear on the screen for ease of access to the browser.
