I don't think so. The URL in the picture doesn't respond. It could have just been a demo to show the court. Since they won that case, there's no reason for them to keep it up.
The actual ballot will most likely be integrated into a limited GUI that uses Trident on the backend.

I hope it's just a simple mock-up.
It saddens me to think that they wouldn't take advantage of a simple "check, check, check, install, done" approach. I (web developer) would love to simply have all the latest browsers downloaded and installed while others can pick their favorite or favorites.
This expands to having GPOs at work apply the right policy to people in IT (all), with whatever setup is appropriate for the rest of the users (nearly all use IE or Firefox only, so have them both installed).

From Microsoft's position, a simplified, temporary browser is ideal. That way they can guarentee the Internet connection works and not have to hard code much, just link you to the popular browsers (Firefox.com, Opera.com, Microsoft.com/ie8, etc.). Download and install as normal. The moment you install something, the temporary browser is disabled/removed.
Considering release isn't very far off, I doubt they would link directly to/provide alternatives on the disk for the sake of security considerations.

The E version is dead. european Windows will have a normal IE. They just added a simple page to tell the user there are browsers other than IE.
