@ jereel - I feel honoured that you chose to actually read my post, because you sure as hell didn't read any others

"the EU has been trying since a few months to make MS include a "ballot box" for browsers in Windows (so that a person installing Windows could choose whether to install IE, Firefox, Opera, Safari and/or Chrome, choosing one as the default one)."
A single extra button click is all this would take. And then it saves you the harddrive space and ram that IE uses. No flash drives. Yay!

As for a particular web browser being 'a part of the OS' Sorry, what? If you delete a dll, you computer functions at a lower level to what it did before (if at all). If you delete IE, it functions at a higher level than it did before. You analogy is inapt!
