Gee, really? I never would have guess.

I already knew that and said so in my message. The question in my message
still remains, why seven versions of Internet Explorer? I can see the
possible need for one or two to support update roll back. But seven? That's
a bit over the top.

I am still curious as to when and how Vista does this alleged clean up cycle.

WinSxs Stands for "Side by Side" most dlls or system exes are located
here for your operating system, older ones for compatibility or the
programs you use as well as previous versions from system updates, you
should not delete or modify the contents of the SxS folder cause windows
preforms its own cleanup and management of this folder itself any
modifications can cause severe problems with your windows installation.

Google has some extensive docs available about this folder and its
operation.
