My solution is a bit technical for some folks here, but I'll tell you what I do. I setup a virtual machine and installed a separate copy of Windows in the VM. I have IE and a few other things installed in that VM that I don't want on my regular PC. When I need to buy a DRMed ebook, run a Java app, etc. I fire up the virtual Windows. You can use either VMware Player or VirtualBox for the VM. Both are free.
On my real PC I run Firefox. I haven't had any problem with it for the non-DRMed stuff. Of course, when buying ebooks with DRM, I go with LIT. Until recently, there wasn't anything I could do with a DRMed PRC. Even now, I still go with LIT, as the HTML used is a bit more standard than the Mobipocket variety. This makes it a little easier to repurpose for my reading needs.
