The Browser Ballot Screen - <Glazblog/>

Seriously, can you imagine the reaction of those 190 million ? At least one half have no idea what a "browser" is. The software with the blue "e" is "The Internet". Put yourself in the position of such a user for a second : you're a __total__ noob; you started using IE ages ago, never heard of the other browsers, never saw the Google Chrome ad in the subway of Paris because you don't live there; suddenly, the Internet displays a page with choices and you never heard of these software; even better, the description is so light you're totally unable to make a choice; and what is it about after all, why do I need to make a choice since IT WORKED UNTIL 10 MINUTES AGO?!? Why the hell do I need to download or install something? Is that dangerous? Is my computer under attack? I can imagine my own dad in front of such a ridiculous choice: he would call me immediately on the phone, totally lost.
