"Unless IE can actually be physically uninstalled easily and quickly, the threat still remains."
It can be effectively removed from all versions of
Win 9x with this little widget:

So many individuals & businesses I know still use 98SE. It is also the most commonly bootlegged of all the Win OSs. Call it out of date, unsupported and unstable, it is still all the OS that most casual users either need or, based on their limited experience, can tolerate. With IE removed and Mozilla or Firefox inserted, a decent anti-virus programme (NOT Norton or McAfee) and a software or hardware firewall most people are happy.
I love Linux but it is still a tough sell.
