Has Internet Explorer ever been safe?

The recommendation to use an alternative browser is based on...

...the existence of an exploit for which a patch is not available (as of the time I write this). It is not being given because IE is insecure. I would hope this same advice were given to those using FireFox, Opera, Safari, etc if there was an exploit targetting them for which a patch is not yet available.

Furthermore IE 7 on Vista, while susceptible, significantly minimizes the issue making the exploit essentially a non-issue. In addition to recommending the use of an alternative browser perhaps people could start recommending the use of IE7 and Vista.
