Microsoft will not include IE in the Windows 7 version for Europe, which will be released in October. Computer vendors may add a browser to the system on their own, though.
Still, there may be a few computers that will have no browser installed. I'm curious what will happen next. How will these people get their browsers?

More news on the Opera vs. Microsoft EU fight: the EU might want to go for the "five" option, in which new Windows computers come with all five browsers installed. I doubt the wisdom of this move.

Now this is interesting. An overview article on Sitepoint mentions a top Firefox engineer bashing Opera's unbundling attempt, partly for the confusion it would cause to the end user; partly because he feels unbundling is no solution to the market share problem.
