Putting aside the irrational need some people have to eliminate all 
Microsoft products from their computers based solely on the fact that 
it comes from Microsoft; that decision depends entirely on what 
features you need to use. I rely on Internet Explorer's "Subscriptions" 
and very heavily on the "Scrapbook" features, so I'm happy to continue 
to use it as my primary browser 'till these features are added to 
another program, or there's another compelling reason to switch.

Practically speaking, Internet Explorer is free, and it doesn't take up 
too much space on your hard disc. What would be the point in not 
keeping it, just in case you need it?
