Wonder if this will allow Microsoft in Europe to get rid of the EU imposed browser select dialog at first boot.

Doubt it. It is the market share of MS Windows, not MSIE, that makes tying a legally questionable practice.

I seem to recall it expires at a certain date and would have to be renewed.

Today they do have a case to argue that their OS dominance doesn't guarantee browser dominance. It is very different from when this complaint was made as there is healthy competition without the browser select screen. But personally I would like to see it stay.

It doesn't guarantee browser dominance anymore precisely because of the select screen.
