It is how you remove windows component in XP, not sure if the same procedure applies to Vista as well though.

I'm personally keeping my IE installed for compatibility reasons. Some webmail services don't work to well with Firefox 2. Not sure if 3 will improve it. But i'll give 3 a try in a few days after reading some reviews and seeing some screenshots.
hmmm, according to my MSDN friends, that only removes the exterior components - not the underlying pieces of the architecture for 2K/XP/ or Vista. Microsoft wrapped those tendrils tightly to make it more troublesome than it was worth because they're very keen on the browser/desktop being part of the OS.
