According to Microsoft beat writer Mary Jo Foley, word is that "Windows 7's mail, photo-management and movie-maker subsystems applets are all being replaced by optionally installable Windows Live equivalents." To many, replacing subsystems with services is a good thing. But what will the self-professed geeks think? Cnet seems to think that "Windows 7 must appeal to geeks--or else!"

You can't pull IE from Windows. But things like Windows Mail, Windows Media Player, Movie Maker, Messenger, etc should be easy to strip out.
I know that - I even said that (albeit in a more direct way):
My point was some of the crap that drive people away from windows is some of the crap that's so far burried into the OS that it simply can't be removed (for the same reasons you reitterested yourself)
