Rumors are that Win7 may ship w/o IE8 in Europe due to antitrust pressure.

If true, does this mean that REALbasic's HTMLViewers won't work on a stock Win7 install in europe?

The article seems to suggest this isn't a problem, but it's something to keep an eye on:

"Microsoft's Heiner hinted that some of IE would remain in the "E" versions of Windows 7. "The E versions of Windows 7 will continue to provide all of the underlying platform functionality of the operating system," he said. "Applications designed for Windows will run just as well on an E version as on other versions of Windows 7.""
