I don't think you can uninstall it. MS has integrated it with the O/S. I guess you could kill the executables but it wouldn't be a complete remove.

I have had customers call here to webex that have done it

the lawsuit a few years ago was about MS doing that and making it not uninstallable, I believe there was judgment for IE to be made separate

EDIT:

I guess you can turn it off, but it will leave all the code there.. thats good

You gotta love an operating system that has a piece of software that you can't remove, yet it's the biggest hole in the system. See why I use a Mac?

I'd use a MAC but I like being able to buy software for my computer

edit: To be fair, I'm not bagging on MAC. I would really prefer to run LINUX, but it also suffers from a lack of support from software creators, so I'm stuck with Windows

That's why I used to have a PC for games. But I have an XBox for that now.

Hell, I almost never buy software anyway

BORING.

Give me a good FPS or racing game any day. I hate C&C/Final Fantasy/Diablo type games.

War games are all that my dad plays.

But yes, PC games are better (Minus GT 1-4)

And FPS games are 10x better on the PC than on consoles.
