The exploited instance of IE7 probably spawns cmd.exe with the same privilege levels as IE7 in Protected Mode, which means you don't have read/write access to the user or system files. It's still bad because you probably get to harvest all of the saved username/passwords in the browser and capture all input/output from that IE session. Now in the case of an exploited Firefox 2, you have full read/write permissions to all of the user files which means you get to steal all the user files and/or encrypt them for ransom.
Protected Mode only blocks write access. IE can write only to a few locations on the system, but it still has full read access to all files readable by the user.
