They might not be shipping Win7 with IE but that does not mean they wont ship the framework that the explore is based on with it - this would typicly mean that steam would be able to continue using ie framework.

An interesting note here, Microsoft announced last week they will most likely ship Win7 without IE in the European Union. So steam+win7 will become an issue here anyway if they keep themselves attached to IE. Saint K. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Saint K. Sent: donderdag 4 juni 2009 10:31 To: Half-Life dedicated Linux server mailing list Subject: [hlds_linux] New browser engine support for steam? I have a request. Most likely a bit radical for your design, but very much wanted. The problem is as following. Steam uses IE as engine to display stuff in the store, the motd etc etc. As you know, IE is used less and less, and people now a days chose not to install or update IE at all because their using an alternative browser. (Our webstats show that IE is by far no longer the most used browser). Now to come to our problem, because we don't install or update IE anymore, we get faced with all sorts of render problems caused by the old IE engine (IE6). Widespread webmasters are fully dropping IE6 supports because their tired of having to implement countless hacks to make it browser compatible. Could steam please consider implementing or supporting alternative browser engines?
