That's just software enforced DEP. Doesn't hardware DEP protect fully for IE6 now? It does for me.

It is interesting that Microsoft has finally made even Word 2002 able to have hardware DEP turned on. If I didn't have ProcessGuard GUI, I could now go to DEP hardware enforced always on full blast on XP. Only program stopping me (for a long time it was IE6 and Word) now is the GUI aspect of PG.
