yeah I have to agree. I have tried everything recently to get people away from 
IE and to eithetr mozilla or firefox. it is furstrating that you show them a 
better product that is entirely free and they simply don't use it because they 
are sooooo used to IE.
it's ignorance and will never change regardless of how many features IE is 
missing and firefoz providing... the average user doesn't care about security or 
tabbed browsing or pop-up blocking. they don't care.
