Sure there is...

Now - why don't they do this with IE? Right now, there's no real way to turn IE "off."

When you install a 3rd party browser and set it as your 'default' browser - you're essentially turning IE off. If you remove the icon from your desktop, quicklaunch bar and anywhere else it may pop up, it's essentially 'off'.

For what it's worth, there are components of IE, namely the graphic display engine, that many other apps - both from MS and other 3rd parties - that use those subroutines to do their thing.

Turning IE off is entirely possible - it's just a question of being able to completely remove it and have everything function properly that's the REAL issue.
