<How did Microsoft respond to Compaq removing the Internet Explorer icon from the desktop?>

There is nothing wrong with this action from MSFT. If I were to ship/bundle an app OEM or through other channels of distribution, I would expect it to be delivered intact. If you want to tamper with someones intellectual property, do it to your own. Would you object if Gateway wanted to replace the Netscape icon in the corner of Navigator with an IE icon? If so, don't blame MSFT.
