Yes, my wife got a new Sony Vaio a couple of weeks ago. I've also installed quite a few Windows 7 systems of late and found the same. It's essentially Microsoft's way of keep the Brussels robery squad happy, but you usually only see it once.

If so I apologize. I have an Acer laptop and an Asus netbook, neither of which displayed a browser choice. In fact, the Acer laptop did come with Vista Home Basic but did a clean install of Windows 7 Home Premium over a year ago.
