IMO, 7 wasn't so great in that context, because things that worked fine before no longer worked, and most of what was added was either moving things around to seem different, or irrelevant. Anyone with 0.5 of a brain will have FF on their work machine, but IE is still going to be what integrates with work stuff. If Corporate is where IE has it's comparative advantage, then gosh, make sure it goes easy on the Corp when the Corp upgrades. Stuff that takes longer or imposes a lot of bizarre "security" gotchas does not make live better for corporate IS people, and those who really know what they are doing will always prefer open source anyway.

It's our web, and they don't play the social game. They don't even pretend to be interested in what real people want - fuck them :-) those days are over. Anyone with 0.5 of a brain loves the fire fox. Who cares about IE? It’s our web, and they don’t play the social game.
