After a bit of boiling down...
1. Nonstandard.
2. Not secure.
3. Slow to upgrade.
4. Ripped off features from Firefox.
5. *WRONG* - there are plugins for IE. (Can't say I know
of any specifically, and of course they're different from
Firefox's batch o' plugins. However, another webpage
showed an example of IE festooned with the silly things.)
6. IE directs you to MSN Live, no flexibility.
7. Indirect costs for IE because of standards incompatibilities.
8. Slow.
9. Not open source.
10. Not cool.
Well, 9 out of 10 isn't too bad. ;-)

That probably should be phrased something like:
After a user uses Firefox for two weeks, Microsoft will have a tough
time convincing him to ever switch back to IE.
:-)
(Ah, English.)
