Only Microsoft knows the answer to that question.
[If you have Internet Explorer 8 installed you can remove it from Vista but not 7.]

Internet Explorer 7 is a part of the Vista operating system itself, so it cannot be uninstalled. If you do not use it, then it will not use any resources other than the very small amount of hard drive space the files take up. If you set your 3rd party web browser (ex: Firefox) as the default program, then you can just ignore Internet Explorer and let is sit unused.

Sorry, :(

Shawn
