If you're regularly an IE user, I recommend using one of the other browsers available to you on Windows until Microsoft gets this fixed. We all know that the Web is just broken with scripting turned off so Microsoft's workaround isn't really such a hot idea. Better to just grab a copy of Firefox, Safari, or Chrome and use that until Microsoft offers a verified fix.
If you've used one of these browsers in the past and then gone back to IE, you might want to delete that old Firefox, Safari, or Chrome profile so that Firefox will re-import all your newer IE settings. And make sure you're using the latest version.
Again, even if you're not a huge fan of non-IE browsers, you really should switch over if even just for a little while. This is a real vulnerability, active in the wild, compromising computers as we speak. We all know you're not going to turn off scripting while you wait for a fix from MS, so please just do yourself a favor and take a break from IE for a bit.

Perhaps because it doesn't yet have auto-update in the release version?

Why mention Safari but not Opera?
