Groklaw has an article arguing that Microsoft has not yet complied with the DOJ order that users must be able to remove Internet Explorer from Windows. "So he explained the blue and white screens of death, what a dual boot startup is, commingling code, and then tying or bundling, specifically tying Internet Explorer with the operating system. He explained how you can't use Add/Remove to get IE or Media Player off your hard drive, but that you can use SPAD, 'set program access and defaults', to choose Firefox or another browser as your default browser instead of IE. However, IE remains on your hard drive."

And millions of people _are_ using Firefox, Opera etc
- and millions of people are complaining about the missing option of completely uninstalling IE 
I don't know about millions complaining--just the sort that spend way too much time on OSNews/Slashdot/etc.
