This is absolutely ridiculous. It's bad enough that MS is being forced to do it in the first place, but now they even have to put themselves further down the list?
If Opera and onecorewonderZilla keep this up maybe the EU will can the idea all together.
Personally I think MS should have just stuck with the "no browser" option and send IE cd's to stores like they were going to do. Make Mozilla, Apple, and Opera do the same. Case close. #browserballot

people who would choose IE probably don't give a shit about their browser. people who choose safari will do so because it's an apple program. but the others? those are the domain of those of us who DO give a damn about our browsers, who actually are familiar with them, and have rational reasons for choosing one over the others.
fans of firefox didn't get to be fans of firefox by randomly downloading it one day because it was the first in some irrelevant list. we heard good things about it and made a concerted effort to check it out.
lastly, where's the victory in duping people into using firefox by way of psychological trickery? isn't this about choice after all? and isn't choice only choice when it's informed, comprehended and consensual? #browserballot

Some people who might not be so familiar with all of these browsers would pick the one that is first, since it would seem like they put it first since it is the best choice, not because of alphabetical order. I mean, come on. #browserballot

It's not completely unheard of to select an item arbitrarily. If you're talking about knowledgeable computer techs, that's one thing. If you're talking about the more average consumer, it's another.
If someone were asked to select one of 5 HTTP Web Server programs, and they weren't familiar with any of them, then the first one in the list would most likely be the best bet. #browserballot
