My mistake. I avoid using desktop so I never played attention to the fact that indeed you can pin metro apps to task bar but IE.But most Modern UI apps can add them to taskbar , only IE can't ,
[edit]
Ohhhh you mean the WIndows 8 App version of IE.
sorry.

The exact reason MUI IE is more secure is because it doesn't support Plugin'sThe most unfortunate thing about the modern IE is that it doesn't support plugins. I use the Evernote Web clipper plugin extensively, and the only option on the modern IE is to share URLs to the modern Evernote app. Otherwise I'd use it over desktop IE for links in modern apps, because it is definitely more touch-centric and I like how it automatically flips to a split screen mode when links are clicked.
