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.
You realise that there are a large number of applications that use Mediaplayer as part of their application. When you mean, "I'm want it removed" - do you mean just the shell but the WHOLE lot - in the case of the media player, do you also want the CODEC's removed as well - which therefore means that we'll have vendors having to ship, most likely, out of date versions of mediaplayer with their software because the vendor can't be certain that the media player will even be installed.
