Yes.  Not objecting to it.  Noting it has to be there 
at least until Longhorn is a reality, and then I'm not 
sure if the same conditions prevail.  Insights?

think MS did prove at the court that the components that make up the IE
application are necessery part of the OS and although the IE application can
be hidden, its functionality can't be stripped from the OS cause it breaks
up too many other applications (including third party ones) that depend on
those APIs

it's like trying to remove QuickTime from MacOS

btw Automatic Updates depends mostly on BITS [Background Intelligent
Transfer Service] and not much on MSHTML or similar
