Hey, geniuses, you could do this since XP. The program files are still there and still available for setting defaults. It's still there in Default Programs and Action Center (links).

@Zachary, its already been said that this is not the same as XP's method, you weren't able to do it in Vista. This new feature actually gets rid of all traces of IE on the system. Stop trying to cause drama.
@All: Anyway, I bet the EU finds something else to complain about so they dont lose any possible money. Oh s**t we're screwed now MS is letting them actually uninstall it, where will we get the money to pay for our raises now.

@Matt S.: Drama? WTF? This is not a fricking soap opera, you jackass. It *is* still there, and still runs from the "iexplore" command and opens no matter what when using the Solution Center and Action Center.
I'm glad the EU is putting the pressure on Microsoft. Bundling IE and forcing it on everybody is Microsoft's last-ditch effort at trying to keep their browser usage numbers up.

"Bundling IE and forcing it on everybody is Microsoft's last-ditch effort at trying to keep their browser usage numbers up."
Bundling? It's their OS, so it's kinda their choice. Forcing it on everybody? Nobody forces you to use IE if you don't want it. You could always install some other browser.
I'm quite content with the latest IE, and I don't need anything fancy to surf the web with.

IE has been included with Windows since Windows 95? How is that a last ditch effort? Every OS includes a browser why should MS be penalized for doing the same thing. If you want another browser go get one. It doesn't matter if a billion people use Windows, nothing MS does keeps you from using another browser.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.. The EU likes using corporations as their personal bankroll. Who can we fine this time. Oh people don't like them doing that lets fine them.

Great point...Macs have Safari, and several Linux distros provide only Firefox. Will they have to change as well?
We all know the answer that that one.
