Yup, you’ve read it right, users can turn off or disable almost every feature on Windows 7. Not only can you turn off Internet Explorer in Windows 7, but you can turn off basically every major Windows feature, Media Player, Media Center, Windows Search, almost everything.
The pic above is a list of all the features that users can disble in Windows 7. If you disbaled or turned a feature off “it is not available for use. This means the files (binaries and data) are not loaded by the operating system (for security-conscious customers) and not available to users on the computer.” But you can turn features back on without popping in that pesky Window disc, you can just click and it’ll be back on.
The ability to turn off IE 8 is part of Windows 7 test build 7048, but that build isn’t available to all Windows 7 beta testers. Most Windows 7 testers will have to wait another month or so for the public Release Candidate test build of Windows 7 to check out this option. [Engineeering Windows]
