In a blog posting, Microsoft has announced an updated "Remove Windows Features" that will allow users to 'switch off' certain built-in applications in Windows 7 such as Internet Explorer, Media Player, Media Center, and others.
MS originally toyed with the idea of making the customizations part of installation, but ultimately decided to streamline the process instead, giving users the option to remove features after Windows was up and running.
Reuters is reporting that the action may have been a result of EU legal anti-trust action taken early this year against the software giant in regard to their bundling of certain pieces of software in their operating system.
