As part of an agreement with the European Commission in 2009, Microsoft was supposed to present Windows users with a choice of browsers. It turns out, however, that Microsoft quietly stopped showing this screen with the release of Windows 7 SP1 in February 2011. According to European Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia, this means 28 million users in the EU did not get to see this screen and were simply presented with Internet Explorer as the default browser. Microsoft has acknowledged that it did indeed make an "error" and has now fixed this issue and resumed showing the browser choice screen on all new PCs with Windows 7 SP1.
