Is Microsoft going to release IE 4.0 "lite"?

I've been trying to confirm this with Microsoft all day and so far I haven't gotten a definitive answer back, but word on the street is thatthe final release version of IE 4.0 will be somewhat different from theversion we've seen as Preview Release 2 (PR2). In PR2, the Web view andone-click, Web-like Explorer are enabled by default and, in general, mostusers seem to prefer it that way once they get used to it. Reports arecirculating, however, that Microsoft plans to ship IE 4.0 with this feature disabled so that the Shell is unaffected when you install thebrowser. If you'd like to turn on the one-click Shell, you still can. Alsomaking the rounds is a story stating that the base install of IE 4.0 (the"Standard" install) will include only the IE 4.0 browser and ActiveDesktop, not Outlook Express (email and news) and other IE 4.0 features.This is similar to Netscape's recent release of the standalone Navigatorand Netcaster product.

I suspect we'll know by the end of the week whether this is true or not
