[edit] removing unwanted windows components article

I would propose that we create an article headlined as something like "removing unwanted windows programs" (or anything fitting this basic topic description), this can be merged with "removing internet explorer" article. While the individual programs used to remove unwanted parts of windows are mostly non-notable, the topic and phrase iteslf is notable considering current Microsoft trends with uninstallable programs like IE, Outlook, etc. In this article I propose the discussion of those specific components normally unremoveable from Windows. In addition we can easily merge all articles about programs like this into a single topic. Forwarding a user to the "removing unwanted windows programs" article from a search of "nlite", "xplite", etc.

I would propose an article format as follows:

Headline: (whatever is chosen to describe this topic)

Description: (short descrition of the topic/opener)

History: (this will note the history of this topic/when microsoft {and other companies} began this habit, user reaction, etc)

Security issues: (note on the fact that these programs have known security issues/problems causing a problem for people desiring to avoid these issues, but being unable to delete them)

MS EULA: (a mention of how removing these programs in this way is in violation to the MS EULA)

List of programs: (a list, with short descriptions and their current status, of all the known programs created to remove components)

Links: (related articles and related sites)
