The awful legacy of the Microsoft IE "tie-in" is going to be around for a long time.
The way Microsoft bundles things together can be a real nightmare for end users.
Just recently, I had to find a copy of IE 9 to download and install, as an application we were using apparently will NOT work with modern versions, and will not run in compatibility mode.
But the worst was when a local office of a national staffing company needed to buy new computers, and we supplied them. The problem was it was just after Microsoft lost the Java suit to Sun, and had to remove the MS JVM from Windows. The problem was that this company had all in-house client/server apps, written specifically using the Microsoft JVM, and would NOT work with Sun’s JVM. It took a week to track down a copy of the MS JVM to load on those systems.

My company has over 5,000 pc’s and they all have IE10.
IE11 does not work with some of the client websites we go to.
Even some of are own sites do not work well with IE11.
I have to use IE10 for work and client sites. Chrome (sometimes).
I use Firefox mostly for websites outside of work like this site.
Because of Microsoft and their activeX plugins, businesses are stuck and it costs everyone money and lots of frustration.
At home I use Firefox and several add-ons. Chrome and IE are not used.
