The last windows weekly they discussed this, apparently it was already solved and the browsers will show up randomly with each time. The ironic thing is that this was proposed years ago by MS and the EU refused. Years later they are right back to one of the original plans. Opera remains the constant whiner in the scenario, and the more they whine, the less they have in market share, they have been the loudest complainant during this whole process and the only one who lost share.
So the question remains, with google's market share, should they be allowed to run adverts for their own products on the home screen? I think some would answer differently if it was MS doing the same thing...or Apple.

I say let MS put IE first.
