I guess that leaves Androids..... so much for the completion unless Nokia's Meego has much marketshare there?

Didn't like Saudi Arabia or whatever (or something around the Middle East) try doing something like this and then they decided not to since BlackBerry (or whoever owns Blackberry) was going to put servers in Europe.

But that was over privacy issues if I remember right.

Weird :P

No i believe the saudi thing was to do with being security risks of some sort. And the topic title is misleading, they are advising minsters not to use them, they have not banned them a such

Yeah, the retarded browser ballot thing.

Vista was fine, since it was old, it was in regards to W8. IE is not, as you say, "built in" it is just in Windows already.
