Server 2008 Core: IE removed, but the sediment remained.

    Finally, they got around to installing Windows Server 2008 Core, the first version of Windows without a graphical shell.
    “And without Internet Explorer,” I thought. What a surprise it was when in the Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders I discovered an old friend: Internet Explorer.
    Inside, however, there is only one file: sqmapi.dll.
    I found out that he is responsible for the Windows Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) and, in theory, in the "Option to install the server core of the Windows Server® 2008 Standard operating system" does not work . What is he doing there then?
    Present. And happiness was so possible ...

    upd. Yes, I do not feel sorry for the place, it was just unusual to see the phrase “Internet Explorer” in such a truncated system
