While I loath IE and most microsofty things, I think MS actually has a 
point. This is access to ring 0 drivers from a website with very little 
sandboxing. A BSOD during a 3D game is an unfortunate fact of life 
because the drivers are so badly written. But a BSOD from visiting a 
website on the browser is more of a pain.
As for security - well

I think the standard could do with more work.
