The problem with IE is, to continue using the mouse analogy, you have to open up the case and pull the circuitry out of the motherboard that the mouse...and other seamlessly integrated devices...use to communicate with the various subsystems. That is what you have to do to equate the full removal of IE from the Windows OS.

You can do it...and undo it...potentially, without damaging the system. But then again, you could win the lottery tonight and retire. That is not a realistic long-term-financial-plan, though, and neither is removing IE from it's position of "seamless integration". But if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, and has feathers, don't try to call it a pig.
