.Antitrust regulatory attention
As with other operating systems, Windows 7 is being studied by
United States federal regulators who oversee the company's
operations following the 2001 United States v. settlement.
According to status reports filed, the three-member panel began
assessing prototypes of the new operating system in February 2008.
Michael Gartenberg, an analyst at Jupiter Research said that, "['s]
challenge for Windows 7 will be how can they continue to add
features that consumers will want that also don't run afoul of
regulators."
In order to comply with European antitrust regulations, has
proposed the use of a "ballot" screen, allowing users to download a
competing browser, thus removing the need for a version of Windows
completely without Internet Explorer, as previously planned. In
response to criticism involving Windows 7 E and concerns from
manufacturers about possible consumer confusion if a version of
Windows 7 with Internet Explorer were shipped later after one
without Internet Explorer, announced that it would scrap the
separate version for Europe and ship the standard upgrade and full
packages worldwide.
As with the previous version of Windows, an N version, which does
not come with Windows Media Player, has been released in Europe,
but only for sale directly from sales websites and selected others.
