Windows 7 will let users turn off Windows Features, IE

In December 2007, Opera filed an antitrust complaint with the European Commission against Microsoft to unbundle IE from Windows.

PPK asks a pertinent question -

Opera, how would an end user get the Internet to work on his shiny new unbundled Windows computer? Which icon does he click? Which program starts up? What else does the end user have to do?

The news now is that in Microsoft's Windows 7, users will be able to remove Internet Explorer 8, as well as several other Microsoft applications, from Windows 7.
