Download a browser in Windows 7 E after clean install
Windows 7 E doesn’t come with an internet browser installed, thanks for the great foresight and wisdom of the EU (NOTE: sarcasm!).
To get a browser you had to have either a 2nd PC to download one on, or download one before installing Windows 7 E so it can be installed after the clean install that, also thanks to the EU, you are forced to do when installing 7E.
Some clever chaps on the WithinWindows web site have pointed out another way how you can install 7E on your compute and then, without having another computer or a pre-downloaded browser, access the internet and download the browser of your choice.
This could also be used for any other web-site.
Interestingly enough, this technique can also be used to create a web application in much the same way you can with Google Chrome and the Prism extension for Firefox.
