Look I'm not going to defend windows or Microsoft. Personally I doubt its useful at all but it doesn't really matter. A broken dependency is a broken dependency.

Even if it's a pet project from a bing exec that's completely unnecessary - if removing it will break things, an os geared towards a general public should prevent it from being removed.
