PR machine: there is no confusion whatsoever, customers should just drop IE/Windows.

Amen. But, we need to realize how difficult dropping IE would be for so many large firm's intranets? A lot of these jack-leg systems were built assuming IE was IT. Then folks (everyone from clerks to VPs) go home and want to see the same browser they use at their jobs.

It's one of the few cases in the internet biz where major, sustainable benefits did actually fall to the early mover.
