It's curious how MS maintains that things like Internet Explorer and
Media Player have to be part of the operating system, when other
companies and operating systems do just fine keeping that sort of things
as applications, particularly when you consider that it was the tight
binding of IE into Windows that has resulted in so many security flaws.
