"The saga of Internet Explorer, the piece of software that once brought the Department of Justice to the brink of breaking up Microsoft, continues to eat away at the company. Several Microsoft employees have been reporting on their blogs that they feel the browser is not receiving adequate attention from upper management, and that it reflects badly on Microsoft as a result."

Some people will use IE no matter what. An otherwise intelligent friend of mine recently asked me for advice because some spyware had got on his pc and now IE was always popping up windows and such (apparently this spyware also evades the regular antispyware tools).
When I asked him why he doesn't install firefox he explained he actually had it installed, but didn't use it because "it's just a habit to use explorer". After I gently explained I'm not going to spend my precious time on this kind of self-inflicted problem another friend went on to outline a 20 minute procedure he could use to deinstall the spyware.
Just to illustrate that some people will always use IE as long as it's bundled with Windows. MS knows that too, so why try harder ?
