No IE user should be surprised if they catch some virus, worm or whatever. Apart form that it's usually slower, it doesn't have proper keyboard navigation, it lacks browser tabs, it doesn't recognize mouse gestures, the bookmarks are inferior, it doesn't allow site specific settings, the popup blocker is lacking, it doesn't have an ad filter, it doesn't include an RSS client, it doesn't maintain state (opened URLs) between sessions, when it crashes you cannot just continue to work where you left off, there is no proper cookie management, it renders pages wrongly and doesn't comply to most standards, it's not very customizable.

Opera 6 is how old? 5 years? Unlike IE, Opera HAS been improved in the meantime. They're at version 9 now.
