IE = spyware's best friend.
I feel that many of windows vulnerabilities stem straight from IE. First,IE should never have been able to write to the registry. This has got to be one of the biggest errors MS has ever made.
Websites adding spyware without user intervention was made possible by IE. As a seperate product,
it could be setup with profiles like Firefox and not need to touch the registry. I really don't
believe any programs should use the registry except for the windows system, but that's just me.
So I guess my question is this. Do you see IE being decoupled from windows? I have no problem
with it being included on the install CD as a seperate program, just not integrated into windows.
