Mozilla boss goes against browser ballot to get privilege while Internet Explorer still gets privileged position in Windows. Mozilla Foundation Chief, Mitchell Baker, has reported that they don’t Microsoft’s repeated suggestion for browser ballot should be given as a choice for users using Windows PCs. The report says that Internet Explorer will always have privileged position with Windows installation and this way the browser ballot option will really bring no great choice.

The browser ballot has been Microsoft’s latest proposition to settle the long term dispute running between Mozilla and Microsoft. Their dispute has been urged to be settled down through anti-competition mediation through European Commission. The new proposals from Microsoft suggests that users in XP, Vista and Windows 7 operating system will always have a great election style ballot with easy installation options.

The Windows 7 option in Europe has been suggested by Microsoft to be circulated throughout the rest of the world. Barker however contends to say that the proposal is going to be on default for Microsoft and the voting would not mean anything really. Choice over default would still be making prominent placement on internet hits and creating a higher place. He shows that the IE logo remains unchanged on everyone’s desk and that is also similar for Windows 7. The IE thus overall gets prominent choices.
