Why do you want to remove it? Just don't use it. If you don't want to browse the Internet with IE, don't.

That's not quite good enough. The IE engine is not only used by IE, but by other parts of Windows and many other programs to the point where where you often don't even know you're running IE. You'd have to not use IE, plus research all Windows features and applications that use the engine, and make sure not to use those either.

However, the fact that IE is so bad has caused some vendors to move away from it. For example, Adobe replaced IE as it's rendering engine in GoLive with the Opera engine.

What are you rambling about. I already said you cannot remove IE - but you sure as heck don't have to use it as your Internet browser.

Not exactly. The Mac version of Live Rendering is based on Opera. Live Rendering on Windows machines is still based on IE.
