Windows 7 Will make Internet Explorer Optional (sort of), Good Or Bad Idea?

    Microsoft engineers have revealed more information about the ability to turn off certain applications, most notably Internet Explorer 8 (IE8), in Windows 7 roll outs.


    Thanks

    I think Vista was a big flop and they will withdraw it from the market in lieu of Windows 7. Its heard that Windows 7 will be more powerful and feature rich.

    But I am still happy with Win XP. Have a official copy of Win XP installed on a self assembled P4 2.4 Ghz Core2Duo, 4 Gb Ram, 260 Gb Sata. Never have any problems, hangs out or such.

    Excellent idea. With IE8 out of the way, the web can move forward and not be stuck with standards and practices from the 1990s.

    IE anyway lies dormant in my PC even when it is offered as a part of Windows..
    I wonder what difference it would make to me....apart from saving a bit of hard disk space... :confused:

    He He Very Cool Find Man,

    And I dont Think IE 8 Will Make Much Diffrence If Its in Win 7 Or Not,
    Cause who use FF Or Other Browsers they dont care for some space taken or not,
    For Me I didnt realize That i cant remove IE Till 6 months Before,
    I dont care i mostly IE use when i need to Get an Critical Update from MS
