What if MS just fell back, regrouped and in their next OS version installed an app strictly for browsing the internet and left explorer to do its GUI stuff thus severing the whole integrated vulnerability tie?
Too easy? Over simplifying the matter?
Thoughts *cough* hits *cough* on the subject?

That is indeed the issue.
If IE could be isolated and taken out of Windows with no hooks, I wouldn't be using it.
My experience has been that if I try to use a 3rd-party browser, Windows has issues with it.
Is that good? No. But it's reality.
