Internet Explorer has been added to the list of components in Windows 7 that can be eliminated by the user’s operating system. This information is disclosed by a team of Windows 7 on his blog.
In the previous Windows operating system, users can actually disable the browser, but can not be removed from the operating system.
“On-switch off the Windows feature is a facility which is available on Windows since the beginning of long-time initial programming code 32-bit,” said Jack Mayo, Group Program Manager for Microsoft Document and Printing team on its blog-like VIVAnews quotation from PCMag, 8 March 2009. “For Windows 7, we make a list of the more significant features and the balance in accordance with user needs a Windows platform,” he said.
In addition to IE8, a list that can be removed from Windows 7, among others, is Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Windows DVD Maker, Windows Search, Handwriting Recognition (via Tablet PC Components option), Windows Platform Gadget, Fax and Scan, and XPS Viewer and Services (including Virtual Print Driver).
Not yet clear how the action will affect Windows software, and other features that need to access web content such as links that can be directly connected to the Internet from Micorsoft Word or the search box in Windows Explorer.
“If the feature is not selected, it can not be used,” said Mayo. “This means that files (and binary data) is not loaded by the operating system (for users to the security) and not available for the computer users,” he said.
However, the installation file from the Internet Explorer will still be available in the operating system Windows 7, although the feature is not selected in the Windows Features dialog box. This was Microsoft to help users who need a browser that does not need to seek out the DVD installation. “We do this on user input that does not want to be bothered when entering the installation of a DVD,” said Mayo.
Mayo does not mention the legal problems associated with the demand of the European Commission about the connection Internet Explorer with Windows. Claims submitted by the competitors IE browser such as Firefox NetApplications the recent past a number 20 percent of the global browser market share and Opera only has a market share of less than 1 percent
