I'm always amazed on how many people do use IE.
I see Mac users who insist on using IE despite the fact that it is slow as hell and crashes a lot not to mention it is stuck at version 5 with no more updates coming. It also doesn't play WMV files or show PNG images. Basically IE on a Mac is a complete POS. Yet I see users who change to IE as their default browser.
IE does provide some limited web browsing functionality, but lacks several important features, tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, PNG/MNG support, user agent masquerading and site-by-site cookie/Java/JavaScript management come to mind. On the other hand, I.E. does include some useful remote administration tools, at least on the Windows side, like default behaviour being to treat unrecognised file types as executable.
