Owing to the pressure for curbing monopolistic practices and also many disgruntled IE users, Microsoft has now added an option to remove IE8. The option was discovered in the Windows 7 build 7048, which means that this option could be very much present in the upcoming RC release.

However, this won’t be a complete uninstall because Windows only wipes off the IE’s executable file (iexplore.exe). It then reboots a couple of times which maybe to reassign all the IE related services to another browser or another Windows application.
