Hi Davy-D,It looks like it and and here is a link that will explain it all: http://windowsitpro.com/article/articleid/102293/microsoft--no-ie-8-in-windows-7-for-eu.html

Thank you Sharkhunter. The article says'"Customers in Europe will receive special Windows 7 "E" editions in which the IE browser has been removed and can't be added back using the usual Windows Features control panel. Microsoft will make IE 8 available to those customers, optionally, via a so-called "IE 8 Pack" that will be acquired "via CD, FTP, and retail channels." So we cannot simply add IE8 back by downloading to a CD and installing..?? We require a special IE8 pack from Microsoft..??Will this be issued with our Windows 7 E DVD..??Can we install Firefox, Opera, Chrome from a CD or do we still need an IE8 pack first..??Will no one from Microsoft inform the customers in Europe just what we have to do..?? Please..??Old Mig15 pilot. Using Windows 7 RC Vista that works.
