What gave you the IE impression? I don't know how to tell if it's using an embedded browser or using something like some IE api's.
Actualy, I haven't seen the software yet but I would be surprised if they used anything else. IE's is the easiest engine to use in your program - just create the COM class and you're done. Much simpler than using some HTML renderer (and working around its quirks) then writing all the networking code yourself.
