C Programming - Isn't its nature to be modular?

I keep seeing reports from the Register and the Inquirer that Microsoft's case is boiling down to if MS Windows is modular or componentized. I've only delved superficially into C programming, the language that alot of Windows is supposed to fall within. If Windows is written in C then it must be based on headers and executables that contain specific script-like programming. So in effect Microsoft shouldn't have any problem stripping out IE and MS Office integration. It may not be easy in everyone's opinion, but it is more of a problem with time than with any technical difficulties, right?
 
Probably 🙂 If they really wanted to they could simply remove a couple of files so that ie wasn't there when you installed it and you'd have to download a "patch" or something.
 
The main problem with IE (and M$'s excuse) is that windows explorer uses allot of IE's features (toolbars) etc, and guess what your desktop is loaded through....explorer. M$ was both stupid enough and smart enough to bind it all together. Office on the other hand, easily stripped out.
