[edit] Do people want to add material to this?
OK, I realise that this isn't terrible NPOV, but it's an initial stab. Do people want to add material to this? - Ta bu shi da yu 13:33, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)
- an initial stab ? Trying to stab Microsoft is indeed POV. :-) Bogdan | Talk 13:45, 25 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- I wonder why the Internet Exploer article doesn't link to this article...... I suggest Vfd since the content of this article is essentially copied from Internet Explorer article. --minghong 18:13, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

While it's true you can drag Safari to the trash and flush it, it's nearly exactly the same as IE on the PC. Safari is just a frontend to "WebKit", which you can't readily remove without breaking a whole helluva lot of other stuff. We should probably mention this.
- Yes, I completely agree. Internet Explorer is a thin client for the HTML rendering functionality built into the OS, which I'm sure parallels the functionality of WebKit. Look at browsers like Avant Browser(essentially another browser based on the same basic web rendering engine), and you'll see that this is true. This article hasn't changed recently, but I may try to bring it up to a higher level of technical correctness. Timbatron 17:33, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
I'd definitly like to see something on the extent of removal and (potential) damages caused by removing IE in the ways mentioned. That would be a good addition. fel64 21:02, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
I think article must have link to Fred Vorck's site. --LogicDaemon 14:04, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs
Soo... I've been looking into upgrading my parents computer, Win98, to something else now that MS has removed support for it. So I stumbled upon Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, apparently it doesn't even install IE. Haven't checked it out totally yet, but why does MS first say that Windows might become unstable if IE is removed, and then they remove it themselves. :) --ReCover 17:24, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
