Since IE and its rendering engines (HTML, XML, GIF, etc.) and its runtime engines (Flash, JavaScript, Java, VBScript) are an intrinsic part of the operating system, it difficult to firewall all of that functionality from being invoked. So many applications invoke part of IE (HTML Help, Explorer, Active Desktop) that leaving any of it not patched to the latest version is a liability. However, maybe I could run it in a VM without any access to the network or Internet. I don't use the online banking features, so I might get away with that.

RE: [NF] IE7 Breaks Older QuickBooks
If you don't have the latest version, you're SOL. Think of it as an opportunity to upgrade to the latest features you won't need anyway! I ended up having to upgrade to a recent Quickbooks Pro version for no reason other than a technical problem due to how banks are processing data on-line. It really irritated me, but I did not want to change to a different app after having learned how to work pretty effectively with Quickbooks over the past 11 years. I don't begrudge software producers trying to improve on their offerings. But I do disapprove of having to upgrade every 3-4 years due to interacting data format changes with outside banking operations. At least I don't do that to my clients for a nominal fee.
