Ah, another definitive version of the truth, relayed from Redmond through the estimable Mr. Dowd. No, it would be awful indeed if OEMs "hacked" the OS by removing the sacred IE icon. That would void the warranty for sure, and customers would thus deprive themselves of the excellent service provided by Microsoft. They'd have to figure out how to refomat and reinstall all by themselves.

Yes, that Judge is indeed banal, to assume that "uninstall" means the opposite of install, like it does in English. I'm sure Microsoft's chosen expert will straighten him out when the time comes, but I'd advise said expert to be somewhat more temperate in tone than Mr. Dowd, if he's interested in avoiding that contempt citation. But, that's not a legal opinion.

Christmas Cheers to you too, John.

Cheers, Dan.
