Harijs G. - show us ONE piece of evidence that Vista was built from scratch. Go to blogs.msdn.com and try to find ONE post to support your position. You'll find many posts to the contrary.

NT 3.1 -> 3.5 -> 3.51 -> 4.0 -> 2000 -> XP -> 2003 -> Vista. Do you honestly think they threw out all that code and started over from scratch with Vista?!

You're the one telling lies.

So if you upgrade to XP SP3 you can't uninstall Internet Explorer, I'm quite sure I'm having a Deja-vu feeling about MS preventing people from uninstalling Internet Explorer in other Windows products.
