If you are using IE for anything but Windows updates, why? There are plenty of other browsers out there that are much more secure than IE. Safari, Chrome (Google product, be careful), Opera, Firefox, lots of others.

There are tons of users, especially business users, who HAVE to use IE because their business applications only run on it.

Same for Win XP.

For two decades, Microsoft strongly encouraged developers to tie applications to their specific OS and browser, and now the folks who did so are paying the price.
