Internet Exploder, WTF is going on ?
xyle_one:
yeah. in the last year, every machine i have built for someone, or reinstalled windows on, i made sure that mozilla was the default browser. they couldn't be happier (well, i guess i could have just put a linux distro on the machines...).

bollocks. there's a big difference between installing SuSE and installing mozilla.
there is NO NEED AT ALL for ANYBODY to use internet exploder when mozilla is FREELY available, and i for one am sorry to hear that you got internet exploder to work, nothing personal but you should have put the effort into installing mozilla instead.

You don't understand the user base I am dealing with here. If you move the coffee pot from its usual position, confusion reigns supreme. Long term, I will eradicate Window$ from this organisation. In fact, I would eradicate PCs in general for thin client if I had my way and a budget but that's another topic. This is a clapped out bollox laptop with about 120M of hard drive left. I would rather not fight this particular battle at this time. I agree, I could load Mozzila and give the user the choice of Exploder or Mozilla, which I may still do now that I have been suitably chastised ! ;) In any event, given the choice, this user will use Exploder.
Pantso:
Everyone can use Mozilla! So why not just try to convince those who work for you about its benefits?
Perhaps this article can help!

The only problem people have with Mozilla is realising that Internet Explorer is a browser.
Once you explain that you can access "all of the internet" with Mozilla they are happy.
Stop unwanted pop-ups makes tehm jump for joy and they forget about IE.
The argument about the user being unable to use Mozilla really shows that you have spent absolutely no time or effort in considering alternatives to what you consider crap software.
You decided they couldn't do it? So you didn't bother? It ain't them it's YOU.
MS will only prevail if people have your attitude "I don't like it but I haven't the ken to do anything else". Maybe you haven't.

Yeah, I used to think IE was OK, but Mozilla and Safari really put it to shame these days. IE is trash!
