Some other reports, seemingly more reliable than the ones you mention, observe
a 30% share for alternative browsers. Which, incidentally, goes quite hand in
hand with my own web page statistics (based on much smaller hit numbers, of
course, yet they happen to be very close to those reports).
Forcing IE in any way in an installation (unless you do it for a
company-internal setup where you know for sure what the default browsers are)
is not downright rude, it has already been reached the level of being
counter-productive. I can only speak for myself, but I would very much hesitate
to use an application where the setup developer can't be even bothered to show
respect for my explicit preferences. Not to mention that it would be pointless,
because IE is not allowed through my firewall, anyway... :-))
Bye,
