Microsoft offering alternative browsers to Internet Explorer

Microsoft offering alternative browsers to Internet ExplorerThe BBC website is reporting that Microsoft are to offer Internet users in Europe an alternative to their existing Internet browser. We at Formoda have had experience of this with one of our computers being offered up to 12 new Internet browsers instead of the installed Internet Explorer.

As Internet Explorer comes pre-installed on most users computers, they often know no different and are still using Internet Explorer 6 and 7 even though they have now been superceded by Internet Explorer 8.

Most importantly it will introduce millions of users to other browsers including Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari and Opera - which can only be a good thing.

Everyone has their browser of choice but we would encourage users to try some of these excellent browsers as and alternative to IE.

The full story can be found at the BBC Technology website.
