Maybe in the days of Windows 98, but it's a part of the system now. After some trojan issues I tried to remove it from my wife's XP comp and the only way is to fool around with manually deleting files and editing the registry. I chose to upgrade to a newer IE. (She doesn't actively use it but some programs occasionally open IE)

See above. Even though IE is not set as the default browser it is opened by some applications. There's also bits of IE functionality that show up in other parts of the OS... removing IE would probably break that...
