Sure, but there's only one way to completely uninstall IE and it sounds like that's exactly what they're doing.

This isn't true. Off the top of my head, Google could replace the executables (incl. DLLs) with ones that do nothing but throw up a "disabled" sign. (Which would also take care of OLE/ActiveX embedding of IE in other apps.) I see below that there are better ways of doing this from more Windows savvy folks.
