I use Firefox, but both the Windows updater and Outlook use IE. There are also numerous other third party programs with hooks in IE. If you use Windows, it is VERY inconvenient to not use IE at all.

Zero day exploits and drive-by downloads are even more inconvenient. Stick with FF. Better yet, ditch Windows.

Nice thought, but in the business world, Mac and Linux affordable accounting apps are pretty scarce. I would also need a Linux equivalent to Sound Forge (audio editing software). It's not all word processing and spreadsheets for some of us.
