Since microsoft seems to insist on keeping their browsers perpetually
vulnerable for the government to exploit, seems sandboxing is about the
only way to keep it from infecting your os. A full vm just to keep ie
from infecting you though?
Why not just NOT use IE? It's really not common anymore I hit those
stupid IE-only things, maybe once a year.
Side note, was looking at docker for the same thing under linux, seems
people are doing this, sandboxing even desktop functions into a
container, which I'm liking the notion of!
