Following the EU investigation into Internet Explorer's inclusion in Windows, Microsoft made it possible to "turn off" Internet Explorer 8 in Windows 7, by removing the executable and every mention of the browser from the system. According to Opera and Google, this is nice, but not enough.

I just had to reply to this. Its funny that you seem to side with Microsoft yet just a few months ago the shoe was on the other foot. The exact same argument could be made about Google's search engine and ads. Yet Microsoft was the first in line to whine to the FTC that Google should not be allowed to make a deal with Yahoo. I kind of see this as payback.
In the end the problem is: How can Microsoft include a browser without applying sway to the web market. They are dumping IE after version 8. I think they should just start using a browser with a standards based engine created by someone else.
