This question pops up every few months. The reason is the updater is using Microsoft's DLLs to display that mini web page in the top 2/3rds of the updater window. Unfortunately the default operation for clicking on a link, part of that MS DLL, is to launch IE. Adding code to launch the user's default browser instead, to work around that default action in the DLL, isn't as straight forward as it should be.
The page that's displayed by the updater is this link;

just bring it up in your browser of choice if you feel a need to click on it for now.

I realize this may seem nitpicky to many, but it's something that's kind of always bugged me about CoX. When clicking a link in the Launcher/Updater, the link is always opened in Internet Explorer. Have I overlooked an option somewhere to change this behavior to opening the link in my default browser? If not, I can only assume that Microsoft is yet another shadow organization of Nemesis.
