Still the wrong argument...
I recently had an issue with spyware and IE. I don't use IE so I uninstalled it... wait... you can't actually uninstall it. You can go through the motions but it doesn't really remove anything. And hold on, wasn't there a court case about this? And didn't MS lose?
For most Linux users that I know the issues are partly political but mostly because they'd like an OS that does what they tell it to do. That is the point of a computer isn't it? If I wanted an appliance I would have moved to Mac a long time ago. Now I'm looking at Mac again.
The simplicity helps with solidity as good software developers know.
How exactly *is* IE tied into my OS? As for the grandparent to this post, it's really hard to make the OS irrelevant when the OS encompasses everything.
