可以从Windows 7卸载Internet Explorer

There are several reports circulating the web that the latest beta version of Windows 7 will allow end users to uninstall Internet Explorer 8.0 (see blog articles here and here).

网络上有许多报道称，Windows 7的最新Beta版将允许最终用户卸载Internet Explorer 8.0(请参阅此处和此处的博客文章)。

It should be noted that the feature appeared in Windows 7 build 7048. This has not been publicly released from Microsoft, but is available as an illegal pirated copy on certain file-sharing sites (obviously, SitePoint does not condone downloading, sharing, or installing the product). In the Control Panel’s “Turn Windows features on or off” dialog, Internet Explorer 8 (IE8) appears as one of the items you can remove.

应该注意的是，该功能出现在Windows 7 build 7048中。尚未从Microsoft公开发布，但是在某些文件共享站点上可以作为非法盗版副本使用(显然，SitePoint不容忍下载，共享或安装。产品) 。 在控制面板的“打开或关闭Windows功能”对话框中，Internet Explorer 8(IE8)可以作为要删除的项目之一出现。

However, Microsoft engineer and blogger Jack Mayo has now confirmed that IE and several other Windows components can be removed from Windows 7.

但是，Microsoft工程师兼博主Jack Mayo现在已确认可以从Windows 7中删除IE和其他Windows组件 。

Removing IE has not been possible since Windows 95. However, the option does not fundamentally affect the operating system – it primarily removes iexplore.exe (although some software re-configuration and two reboots are required). Whilst this will prevent anyone using the browser, the main Internet Explorer code base and libraries can still be accessed by Windows and third-party applications.

从Windows 95开始就无法删除IE。但是，该选项从根本上不会影响操作系统–它主要是删除iexplore.exe(尽管需要重新配置某些软件并需要重新引导两次)。 尽管这将阻止任何人使用浏览器，但Windows和第三方应用程序仍可以访问Internet Explorer的主要代码库和库。

The uninstall options appear to be quick fixes to Windows 7 (although, to be fair to Microsoft, they could have planned it months ago). However, the ‘feature’ has appeared shortly after the European Commission ruling that could have forced Microsoft to offer alternative browsers within Windows. Microsoft is yet to respond to Commission’s preliminary conclusions, but offering an IE8 uninstall option is likely to solve a number of potential legal problems.

卸载选项似乎是Windows 7的快速修复程序(尽管对Microsoft来说公平，他们可以在几个月前就计划使用它)。 但是，“功能”在欧盟委员会裁决后不久就出现了，该裁决可能迫使微软在Windows中提供其他浏览器。 微软尚未对委员会的初步结论做出回应，但是提供IE8卸载选项可能会解决许多潜在的法律问题。

Will the IE uninstall stop Microsoft’s ongoing legal battles in Europe and other territories? Will it help or hinder Windows users and web developers?

IE卸载是否会阻止Microsoft在欧洲和其他地区正在进行的法律斗争？ 它会帮助还是阻碍Windows用户和Web开发人员？
