With the price of hard drive space hovering close to zero, there is really no
practical reason to remove IE, even if you might need it only once in 3 years.
Specifically, MS often makes it difficult to navigate and obtain patches and so
forth unless you are using their favorite browser. They can't legally make it
impossible, but they sure can make it less enjoyable.

Also, good luck removing much of the code without negatively impacting
the OS. You can delete some icons and shortcuts, but to free up a
significantl amount of drive space you'd need to delete some .dll files
that are used for other purposes.
