This no longer works on windows 8 (see bug 760023) so we are going to disable it.
Attached patch Patch v1.Splinter Review
Review to land directly on m-c. 
On Win8 this checkbox is handled by an OS prompt at install-time.

By the way, for reviewing, both win2008 R2 and Win7 are v6.1

I tried this on a Win7 machine and it showed the default browser checkbox, on a win8 machine it did not.
