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

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.""

I imagine that all of the relevant libraries will still be there,
because Windows (historically at least) leverages so much of IE's
crap, er, functionality for various things, but will be missing the
actual iexplore binary that provides a UI.
Nope - in this case, the entirety of the IE environment has been made
separate from the Windows OS to meet this requirement. From what
we're hearing in the developer realm, if it's removed, it won't be
available and that we should use the "default browser" as defined by
the users for web-based content.
