So anyone here in Europe have seen this ballot screen (or whatever it is)?
No sig due to budget cuts.

I saw this already on an XP system the other day, you actually have to click the button to install IE again if you want to keep it, but otherwise you can just nerf it out of the registry startup and it won't bother anymore.

I'm sure Opera 10.50 being actually pretty decent unlike their previous version had nothing to do with it :roll:

I've ticked the 'dont show again' box on every update thats offered the selection screen.

There are another half dozen or so browsers to choose behind the main screen but I tested 4 of them at the weekend. None of them even scored more than 13 on the Acid3 test. I think IE6 does better than that?
