BrowserChoice.eu was a website created in March 2010 as the result of the decision in the European Union Microsoft competition case. The case involved legal proceedings by the EU against Microsoft and found that, by including Internet Explorer (IE) with their market-dominant Windows operating system, Microsoft had used their dominance of the operating system market to also create a dominant market position in the web browser market. The BrowserChoice.eu website was created by Microsoft to allow users that had not made, or were unaware of, a choice to try other browsers, and thus comply with the European Commission's ruling. In December 2014, Microsoft's obligation to display the Browser Choice screen to Windows users expired. Consequently, the BrowserChoice.eu website was discontinued, only showing a notice advising users to "() the websites of web browser vendors directly".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Information Regarding Web Browsers )〕 As of July 2015, the site is offline. ==Web browser choice screen== The ''web browser choice screen'', also known as the ''web browser ballot box'', was a screen displayed in Internet Explorer that offered ten to twelve browsers in a random order. The screen was presented only to Windows users whose default web browser is Internet Explorer. It affected the European Economic Area, Croatia and Switzerland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Browser Choice FAQ )〕 A patch was made available via Windows Update to provide the screen to users. It was displayed to anyone who had not chosen another browser as their default browser. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「BrowserChoice.eu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
