But you still have to pay for Microsoft Internet Explorer
regardless of whether you use it or not it is part of the
price you pay for Microsoft Windows, which comes preinstalled
whether you want it or not. That is NOT the case with GOOGLE
services.

By the way, I would not use Interet Explorer even if
Microsoft PAYED ME to use it, it is so full of security holes
that I could just as well directly install every Trojan,
Virus and any other kind of Spyware thats available.

"Just because IE is present doesn't mean you have to use it to browse the
internet"

I agree - THAT problem has been fixed. But if you really, truly, delete IE then
a lot of Windows will break.

That is my point - IE is still there, and you still have to use it. Even if
you'd rather use something else. For example (I don't know, I avoid those
programs on my Win7 and XP systems) do Outlook (Express) and Windows Mail use IE
to display html mail messages? Quite likely.

IE is installed, and you are pretty much forced to use it, whether you want to
or not.

Cheers,
Wol
