How will this benefit me?

* DCOM will be shut off, preventing possible exploits.
* TCP/IP will be hardened against some DDOS attacks and malformed
packet attacks. How? I added settings that NIST recommends.
* Port 135 will be closed by default (did you know Task Scheduler
opens it and keeps Port 135 open? Do you still want to complain about
the fact that I left it out by default?)
* Your interface will look normal and not stupid, because Web View
will be removed from the interface
* Your boot time will be reduced by approximately half
* Several applications will not install by default but still be
available (like Hyperterminal, etc)
* Windows File Protection will be off until you turn it back on
* Windows will not require you to enter a serial when installing
* All scripting exploits and many ActiveX exploits will simply not
work on your machine
* Several dozen tweaks will be added, including setting the machine
up so that it appears that IE is installed, when it actually ISN'T, so
many programs that think it's necessary will "see" version 6.x there
and not complain.
* Your PC will also boot faster, depending on variables like your
hard drive speed. As in, 40 seconds from hitting "on" to login screen.
On a Pentium-II 400.

Internet Explorer != DCOM.

packet attacks. How?

Bullshit.

Internet Explorer != protocol.

Therefore, I may come and sneak in your computer since I added something
that I can get past.

Nice try,

I would rather see you continue to make an ass out of yourself across
severer al newsgroups with your spam.
* Your interface will look normal and not stupid, because Web View

Click to expand...

That is what we call stupid.
Going back to Windows 95 or another lame look.
* Your boot time will be reduced by approximately half

Bullshit..

Internet Explorer has nothing to do with boot time.
* Several applications will not install by default but still be
available (like Hyperterminal, etc)

Nobody gives a flying **** except your likes.
* Windows File Protection will be off until you turn it back on
Click to expand...

So that you can alter system files at will.
Nice try.
* Windows will not require you to enter a serial when installing
Click to expand...

I knew it, you are pirate.
* All scripting exploits and many ActiveX exploits will simply not
work on your machine
Click to expand...

They don't work on mine.
I simply have the correct settings, which are just few clicks away,
without having retards like you changing my Windows or Internet Explorer
installation settings.

* Several dozen tweaks will be added, including setting the machine
up so that it appears that IE is installed, when it actually ISN'T, so
many programs that think it's necessary will "see" version 6.x there
and not complain.
Click to expand...

Therefore you can still sneak whatever you want and the poor person who
installed your crap would still think that he/she cannot be exploited,
since they no longer have Internet Explorer installed.

hard drive speed. As in, 40 seconds from hitting "on" to login screen.

Bullshit.

Go get a clue before you pretend that you know something about Internet
Explorer or anything about Windows for that matter.

Most (if not all) Linux installers thoughtfully remove IE for you
already. Some don't even install IE in the first place. Such is
the advancement of modern technology.

Not needed, just stick in your favorite distro install media,
boot and tell the installer to use *all* available space on any
hd for Linux. This should get you rid of IE easily.;)

BTW
Sounds like a lame attempt starting some flamewar...

Simple basic questions of such altered os:

1. What will be the system's speed, responsiveness etc.? (We already know the
boot time is reduced by half but how it behaves after system is already
booted?)

2. Will this os be usable as a gate for little home network or it is just for
workstation?
Will it provide Internet Connection Sharing?
We already know the IIS is ousted but what if a file sharing via FTP beetwen
home computers is needed? The same question about NetBIOS etc.?

3. How software firewalls e.g. Zone Alarm will react?
 
If I understand your "question", you figure most average Windows users
won't want to do this; but average Linux users who most probably also
use Windows would.

Try including your reason rather than just saying "bullshit" to
everything...anyone can do that.....

Maybe maybe not. A lot of people are now starting to use Firefox and so
would probably benefit from removing IE. If there are not any side
effects...I am sure MS has made removing IE very difficult, if not
impossible, since IE is part of their doctrine of domination :-)

Yeah besides being way more secure I just like it better. Use to use
Netscape 4.7 (we all used Netscape at one time) but the growing
incompatibility with fonts, placement, and CSS, and the constant
crashes wore me out. I'm sure Microsoft had a lot to do with that,
just like they did with DR-DOS, the DOS better than DOS. Market share
gives you a lot of leverage.

Windows is great for internal use but DCOM, ActiveX, and the Scripting
Engine make it a security nightmare. Hey at least they keep Symantec
in business.

Wow, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The whole point of this
post was to point out that the removal of IE has nothing to do with
Linux at all. Why were such directions posted here? It was also a
joke and dig at windows. I thank everyone for their "help" in this
matter but umm...I think some of us could exercise their sense of humor
a bit more.
