Personally, I feel sorry for those going to do a fresh install of 
Vista7, because how are you supposed to download a browser without a 
browser? I'm guessing that they'll out in a program a bit like the 
'Download Windows Live Messenger' app that they have with Vista, which I 
think is a bit unfair. I think it'll be time for Mozilla to do a bit of 
marketing if they can.
