"In addition to the features that were already available to turn on or off in Windows Vista, we’ve added the following features to the list in Windows 7," said a Microsoft blog, listing Internet Explorer 8, Windows Media Player and a host of other Microsoft programs.

The new design will make it easier for users to remove any traces of Internet Explorer from their desktop, although the software will remain installed on the computer, and allow them to run other browsers more smoothly. [Via ITPro]
