RE: First IE. Then Mozilla. Does this spell Opera-tunity?
Going to Windows 7 you can remove it, but also increased security with IE8.
However even here on ZDNET in the past Opera security flaws have been pointed out

So I guess next time Opera has a security hole you'll switch browsers again?
If you do some research Microsoft IE team has at least as good, or better security development practice than many competing products. Examples of Microsoft Security Development Lifecycle at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/security/cc448177.aspx
RE: "Going to Windows 7 you can remove it"
You can remove the shortcut to it, but about half
the programs in Windows will still automatically
start it inside of themselves whenever they go
online, exposing you to all of the vulnerabilities
in it.
