    Microsoft: No browserless Windows 7 after all

    Those who pre-ordered Windows 7 "E" through a recent discount offer will get the full version, as Microsoft had promised. However, Microsoft plans to now sell Windows 7 upgrades in Europe and also offer a higher-priced full version (for those without an earlier copy of Windows)--similar to what it is doing in the rest of the world.

    That's no surprise. Easier to setup a ballot screen than to make a whole new version.
