Internet Explorer Will Finally Be Able To Be Uninstalled
by Wyatt WalterEvidently a recently leaked build of Windows 7 allows Internet Explorer 8 to be uninstalled. It still is installed by default, of course, but it’s allowed to be removed fully (with the exception of the rendering engine, MSHTML.DLL). Microsoft has been challenged in courts in Europe over creating a monopoly in the browser market by not allowing the browser to be uninstalled in the past and this very well could be a step to mitigate the risk of the same thing happening in other courts. You can remove IE8 from the system through the “Turn Windows Features On or Off” dialog. Unchecking the box just removes the iexplore.exe binary.
