In my view, it's more "thoroughly entangled" than integrated. After all,
greater difficulty of removal does not constitute integration any more than
welding a car's radio to the engine block makes it more "integrated"
than before. It does, however, make it difficult for a different product, 
such as Netscape Navigator or Opera, to replace MSIE lock, stock, and barrel.
Which it could be made to do easily had Microsoft not done everything
in its power to prevent this.
