Dip. IP is the basis for TCP and UDP. TCP without IP? How?... TCP/IPX? Novell becomes king?
Yah, you can do anything dumb to a stack. It's just code. It might fuck up your access to certain routers, making your browser slower on non-MS routers (just because MS doesn't do OS for routers now doesn't mean they'll stay out of that domain). Anything can happen to make code 'bad'. MS proves this on occassion as they continue to lose sight of their core competancies and broaden their product offerings that are close to the competition functionally but are short in robustness and reliability.
