I suspect this is a move by Microsoft to hit back at the European Commission, who have hit them hard with big fines ($1.4 billion) for being monopolistic etc. Initially this will be good news to the European Commission - it looks as if Microsoft are removing their browser to give people the choice of downloading and installing an alternative, such as Opera or Firefox. But did they really think this through?  When the European Commission take delivery of their shiny new Windows 7 PCs, they will have no browser with which to download their favourite browser.  Of course there's nothing to stop them from downloading it using another PC, but by complying with the EC's wishes, Microsoft have cleverly introduced an ...

I've been a great fan of Google Earth since it first hit the scene.  Like most people who use it, I found my own house, my workplace, places where I'd lived previously etc.  In the early days, many of the images were quite fuzzy - I could find my street, but my house was represented by an amorphous blob of colour - simply no detail whatsoever.
