Microsoft has conceded to pressure from the European Union (EU), and will now randomise the order of web browsers displayed on the systems browser ballot screen for EU users.
This comes as a bit of a blow for Apple, who were in line to have Safari first on the ballot screen.
Microsoft is now expecting approval of the new ballot screen before Christmas, and will push out an update to all Windows users in the EU with the ballot screen update.
The browser ballot screen will run the first time a user opens Internet Explorer, and will offer the user a choice of browser.
Currently, Apple’s Safari, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Internet Explorer are all set to be included on the ballot screen.
The end may finally be in sight for Microsoft in the anti-trust case.
