That's not quite good enough. The IE engine is not only used by IE, but by other parts of Windows and many other programs to the point where where you often don't even know you're running IE. You'd have to not use IE, plus research all Windows features and applications that use the engine, and make sure not to use those either.

What are you rambling about. I already said you cannot remove IE - but you sure as heck don't have to use it as your Internet browser.

However, the fact that IE is so bad has caused some vendors to move away from it. For example, Adobe replaced IE as it's rendering engine in GoLive with the Opera engine.

Not exactly. The Mac version of Live Rendering is based on Opera. Live Rendering on Windows machines is still based on IE.

Just not using it as your browser will not protect you from its security flaws. It's used by many other applications and Windows itself which give you exposure to varying degrees (heavy exposure if you use Outlook).

True, but there was a switch. Macromedia also picked Opera.
