IE has improved significantly with IE 9 and apparently also with IE 10, but I don't think that it's enough to be better than some of the alternatives. Opera, Chrome/Chromium derivatives, Firefox/Firefox derivatives, and more have been consistently better options and AFAIK, they have continued that.
 
Pretty awful list. A lot of Tomshardware readers will already know these.

I mostly use it when Firefox + noscript are acting up and it's a website I trust. IE9 is good, but I like Firefox more
 
Since using Windows 8 I installed Mozilla, IE and Chrome fresh, I still ended up with Mozilla even though it is slower and crashes more often than the rest but the bookmark search function is a must for me. I only use IE10 for Netflix, it seems to work better for some reason.

It's also worth noting that IE9 is improving slower than other browsers. Initially they had a lead over Chrome and FF, but now their competitors are running away with the game.

I think MS was too focused on IE10.

if they worked all the time i would, but they don't
 
However, Microsoft's IE still holds its own as the number one browser in North America with over 40 percent of the market.
Only because it comes pre-installed. No one should ever use IE with Chrome and Firefox available.
