Don't these guys learn?

In a similar affair, they were forced to unb(l)unde(r) Internet Explorer from the OS and provide a tool to help the user choose their preferred web browser during install/first startup.

They never fully implemented it, you cannot disable Internet explorer...it will find it's way back for something else.

Yes I assumed there was more in depth ways of disabling it but every uninstaller and plan I followed would still have it open up for certain things.
