This is the proposed ballot screen that European users of Windows 7 will see and it looks like Europeans will get the full version of Windows 7 after all
In the wake of last week's developments, as well as continuing feedback on Windows 7 E that we have received from computer manufacturers and other business partners, I'm pleased to report that we will ship the same version of Windows 7 in Europe in October that we will ship in the rest of the world," deputy general counsel Dave Heiner said in a statement.
So there you have it, there E box will become a collectors item after all…thankfully!

- If our proposal is accepted by the Commission, we will update Windows XP and Windows Vista machines throughout Europe with the consumer ballot screen
