And what happens if you are not running Windows in the first place?
Using IE only, is like using any other useful piece of software, its alright when it is popular, but when the support dries up, you have to move on, which can be very painful if you have made use of specialist features.
You can guarantee, when Vista come along, there will be some new feature that prevents the latest version of IE running on XP, and before you know it you might as well be using Firefox or Opera as you are locked out and in the cold. All because Microsoft want you to buy a new computer to allow you to do want you did before.
