The latest updates I have been offered for my PC have included this.
Is it best to just continue to ignore this update?
Ian
For now I have unchecked it and not installed it. What will happen if I do install it? Will I have to make a choice? I already have four browsers installed (IE8, Firefox, Opera 10.10 and Opera 10.50 beta). Opera 10.50 beta is currently my browser of choice. I don't want to lose the use of any of them and I don't want the update, or making a choice, to mess up my present arrangements. Browser choice update for Windows XP?

I see no need for you to install this - it's intended for new installations, so it's not clear why Microsoft would push it to existing installations.
Best wishes,

According to Here It Is: The Browser Ballot Screen - SuperSite Blog you see the screen only if IE is your default browser. You can choose a different browser as the default or leave everyhting alone.
I don't see a problem with installing the patch or ignoring it.

It is being added to the older version, since many users were forced to use IE when they got their machines.
I think Microsoft is covering their backsides, because of the issues with Windows 7.
