Charles, I don't believe that Gates lied. The fact is that removing IE the way it is integrated right now is impossible. It can be disabled as the browser (it can be done by anybody today when they use Netscape), however, it cannot be completely removed since some of the DLLs contained in IE are used by the Operating System. Now, just because it can't be removed today, doesn't mean that it couldn't be removed tomorrow. Maybe Microsoft was willing to take the development and testing hit to put behind a lawsuit. Surely, you can agree with that.
