When I'm on Windows and have 40 tabs in Firefox (with Firefox closed), I often open IE6 if I only need to look at a quick piece of information (like check my e-mail). Opening Firefox would take two minutes or more (just to load the tabs). Same goes for Opera and all the other browsers. IE is built right into Windows so it already has all the necessary components loaded.
IE 6 gets my vote because of the three browsers (IE6, IE7, FF2) that are most popular on the site I work on and therefore have to have installed, it allows for the smallest amount of browser chrome.
