This applies to the outer layers of the client programs that utilize IE integration in their user interfaces and possibly in some other functions. My guess is however that the p2p engine itself is IE-independent. The core designers have hardly wanted to put such a portability limitation and Microsoft dependence on themselves.
Anyway, your security advice and approach is sound, twinspan. I myself have also started to use Opera more and more, especially on sites that are plagued by pop-ups.
