IE has many holes in its ActiveX interface, VBscript engine ...
Also it used to have some bugs in the handling of Security zones, disclose some cookies, iFrame issues, ..

Sometimes, they send you a crafted URL that read a cookie for some sites and send it to their own servers.
I am not antiM$ and just blind. I use Windows 2000 and some tools but whever possible or when it is top higher security I tend to use other tools.
