It's a common myth the anti-Microsoft crowd likes to believe.

No, I'm telling you IE has NEVER, EVER "killed my OS", as in having to
reinstall it, as Mr. Lag claims he has had to do. Not even Win9x.
Certainly some of the various IEs have crashed on me (or flaked out to
the point of the instance being unusable), but on WinNT/2K, even if the
*shell* instance crashes, it will automatically restart. And NT/2K has
never BSOD'd on me due to any user-mode program, IE's included.
Now Win9x/Me is a different matter, they'll bluescreen if the sun goes
behind a cloud, but the IE's have been no more guilty of that than any
other software. But yet again, NEVER, EVER have I had to reinstall.
Not once.
