It might have something to do with their spaghetti code and alleged closed

Because MS decided to "integrate the browser with the OS", in an
effort to avoid anti-trust legislation in their crushing of Netscape.
End result: the browser has tentacles weaving through the entire operating
system, and as a result, any security problem with the browser has enormous
ramifications for the OS.
I see it most (here at work, where I'm forced to use IE - they've banned Firefox
& Chrome, and implemented a group policy that prohibits them from running)
in the way the entire system comes to a crashing halt whenever there's a
malformed web page that causes IE to have conniptions.
To be honest, I'm amazed at how bad IE handles web pages these days. I'm
finding probably 1 page in 5 or 10 that causes IE to 'lock up' (for anything up
to a couple of minutes) when I try to navigate away from it. And don't get me
started on how long it takes to load a page that has animated ads on it...
(I *really* miss my adblocker plugins)
