No...
If Outlook only consumes 33 MB...
Why bother removing it?
For some reason I no longer get the annoying default message...perhaps
MS fixed that in either Outlook or WLM -- or both.
So, it's just easier to keep Outlook installed, in case Microsoft
screws the pooch on WLM "improvements" and experimentation and I have
to fallback to Outlook.
Soon, I can't use OE anymore with a POP3 account.
So, belt and suspenders is the better choice.
Further, if I start removing Outlook and its several updates who knows
what else in MS Office may come unhinged and start giving me error
messages.
I get the strong impression that the WLM team is just not as SMART as
the OE team was....
Hence my caution.
Comprende?
