internet-explorer - Windows 7 欧洲版开发意义

Question

显然在欧洲， Microsoft plan to ship Windows 7 without IE8 preinstalled 。我开发的许多商业应用程序都以某种方式使用了 IE，所以我担心我们现在是否需要将 IE8 作为我们应用程序安装的一部分进行安装。

这是否意味着应用程序使用...

WindowsForms WebBrowser 组件

WPF WebBroswer 控件

No touch deploy

IE 作为 ActiveX 控件

XPS 查看器

可能是其他开发人员 API/COM 组件？

...将不再在欧洲的 Win 7 上开箱即用？还是 MS 找到了一种将核心 IE 组件留在操作系统中的偷偷摸摸的方法，而只是删除了“浏览器”应用程序？

直接来自微软的马嘴: Best ISV practices for Windows 7 E :

What general impacts of Windows 7 E editions have you seen on applications – especially ones that rely on the WebOC?

During our application compatibility testing, we’ve found that the vast majority of applications work on Windows 7 E editions without any changes. This includes applications that use many of the Internet Web Platform embedding methods (including WebBrowser control, hosting Trident, and HTML Help).

My Windows application (WPF, Win Forms, Java, etc.) uses the Web Browser control. Is there any compatibility issue?

Everything should work as expected. However, we’ve seen some issues when applications depend directly on a specific browser. In particular, if while using the Web Browser control, you allow the application to open new windows that do not respect the user’s default browser choice, you may see some issues.
