Users post guides to removing IE 3 news.com

It's the trendy thing to do! I feel obliged to post this since I've been saying there's an uninstall for it, but there isn't, of course. I think I was confused and thinking about MSN; I kept deleting that sacred icon and having it mysteriously reappear, until I went back to Windows setup and did an uninstall there. I had deleted an IE folder at some point to make space, too, but I'm sure there was more.

Of course, I take no responsibility for anybody who tries this, word is that it fragments and fractures your system and destroys the integrity and uniformity of the Windows Experience. Give the customers what they want, I say, like that obsolete and buggy old Win95 stuff that's a retail best seller, $90-200 a crack. Comes with free IE4 too!

Cheers, Dan.

Just out of curiosity, what *is* the technical rationale for what they are doing?

How is it cheaper and/or better for the consumer if the two are inextricably intertwined?
