It is finally happening! Windows 7 will allow users to “remove” IE 8 and Media Player. This is a feature is made available today on the beta version of Windows 7 which was released last month.
According to AeroXperince blog, a site for Windows developers “There is a catch: For now, this only seems to wipe the actual executable running Internet Explorer 8 (iexplore.exe), but given that many of the most vocal proponents of choice were just looking for an option to functionally remove IE8, this might’ve been the only way to do it without killing the rest of Windows.”
“In addition, this actually takes two reboots and a configuration step to complete, so there’s definitely something going on behind the scenes (likely a remapping of where IE-related functions can be found for other elements in Windows so that Windows doesn’t complain about IE’s nonexistence).”
So are you ready to get rid of IE from your computer after you have installed Windows 7? Well, I am big fan of Firefox and so I am definitely disable IE and Media Player (which is painfully slow) from the new version of Windows 7!
