The judge has his own semantics on "removing" and "disabling". He think it's the same as long as the "icon" does not show in the screen and a person cannot run IE if the "icon" is not showing. This is what he called "visual evidence" of "removing" IE. That's one point of view, as you say. Another point of view is that the Judge looked at the install/uninstall tab on the control panel and assumed those words had some kind of conventional meaning instead of a special Microsoftese definition for those pieces of software Microsoft deems important in its war on the internet. The Microsoft expert will no doubt explain the Judge's mistake to him, I'd advise said expert to be somewhat more respectful than the Microsoft-educated "computer experts" around here. Meanwhile, as I said, the appropriate ilk factions will have determined which of those 228 files might appropriately be called "part of the OS", in some non-Microsoftese sense, and which are "application code". And which are actually part of IE in any meaningful sense. The ilk ain't quite as stupid as Microsoft takes us to be. Cheers, Dan.
