If the system was set up to disallow any other browsers from being used or installed maybe, but otherwise I don't see how.

I read that Microsoft won't be including any browsers in the Win7s heading for Europe.

So how do you get a browser then? You need a browser already installed to download one from the web, and burning a CD of one to get it isn't all that convenient.
