Not trying to start a mac/pc flame war or anything. I'm just honestly curious as to why Explorer is preferable to, say, Firefox.
90% of users don't care, hell they hardly even know, what browser they are using. IE is what came from Microsoft and so it's easy and safe. Firefox is "different" and as such suspect.

Note: The word "safe" is used here in an emotional context rather than a technical one.
