Back at home in India we have desktop computers from IBM (here), Acer, hp/Compaq and a few more local brands that come pre-loaded with Linux(Mostly Red Hat or Turbo Linux) and have support from the dealers/manufacturers for 3 years. You also have all major computer magazines giving out DVDs and CDs with RedHat, Mandrake, Peanut and Knoppix. There's a magazine called Linux For You, here, that gives a modified Knoppix distro(they even tell you how to modify it) with every issue along with another cd that has anything linux that one might need. And these magazines retail for $1 to $2 (Rs.50 - Rs.100) on the roadside.
Surely, American corporations are more afraid of Linux than the general(non-geek) population.
As we all know, whenever someone comes up with time travel (in the movies or thought), everything goes beserk! So our futureself would come back and destroy all our work and our time machine! And die . ..knowing fully well that he would be alive if not for the time machine going haywire and killing the creator . . . and the futureself in the process. It happened to me! Believe me! I made up this time machine in my head . . . and some one woke me up. I'm sure it was my futureself disappearing as soon as the time machine got destroyed in my thought.
Damn . . . I'm out of coffee. I bet its my futureself again preventing me from thinking up time machines.

Make yourself a linux box for 95 bucks and see for yourself.
Removing IE is:
Control Panel -> Add/Remove Programs > Add/Remove Windows Components > Uncheck IE > Click on OK.
You're done. And as a windows user: RTFM! or press F1.
