Every browser has security issues at times, the question is, how fast do these issues get fixed? Microsoft is sort of slow with this because Edge get's major updates in Windows feature upgrades and security ones in monthly Windows updates.
Severe vulnerabilities are patched out-of-band. Microsoft does it all the time.
Not sure why you think there is any distinction between patches Windows downloads automatically and the updates IT pushes out automatically.
Because IT doesn't push out patches automatically. They test them in their environment first. It also gives them the ability to not push non-security updates, driver updates, etc.
Facebook however, illegal acquires this data, because other people have given it my name because it allows that, and tagged their location at my address, installed the Facebook app on their phone where it harvests their contacts of which one is mine with my name and phone number and so on, and so forth.
Facebook could solve this problem easily - just ban tagging of non-Facebook members, stop harvesting data it's not legally entitled to from people's phones and so forth.
The Facebook mobile app does not have access to the device's contacts. Photos yes, location usually, but not contacts.
I could do pretty much all my research on Linux, if it weren't for SolidWorks and the damned Word. Regarding Word: I like LaTex a lot, and use it whenever I can, but I research in a multidisciplinary environment and am first author for articles submitted in such a multitude of journals, that Word is, sadly, unavoidable - there's plenty of journals that only accept Word docs.
Word Online has been available for free for over a year. Just sign into OneDrive on any platform and create/edit/save a Word doc.
Avoid this release like the plague! No RSAT tools, a VLAN change can crash it, install will corrupt itself, Windows updates break to the point a DISM image fix is required, and the list goes on and on.
"An RSAT package will be available shortly after Windows 10 RTM."

To my knowledge, DEP is a setting in Windows, not in IE. Does Microsoft not know it's own product or is this some different setting?
In IE8:
Internet Options -> Advanced -> Security: Enable memory protection to help mitigate online attacks
As you quoted, this is detailed in a post linked to in the advisory.
reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl
There you go.
In any problem, if you find yourself doing an infinite amount of work, the answer may be obtained by inspection.
