But one major factor why people will not so eagerly change their browser, besides those mentioned by you is the power of habit. Those into computing have chosen alternatives to IE a long time ago, and the rest don’t even take into consideration the alternatives, because they have years of using IE and they find it difficult even when a slightly different version appear or they change the skin. I myself am under the power of habit and I use Opera. I’m using it for about 8 years now, although it has a lot of shortcomings. I only use firefox for specific tasks when the pug-ins come in hand or the reaction time of a site is generally slower.

I am using FF right now and Chrome for watching streams. I like working with Firefox because as you said it is so easy to customize it with a whole range of great plugins. Chrome seems to deal better with streams and such. This decision came more from the fact that Microsoft is trying to maintain its monopol status than for the user and his user experience.

We certainly have our fair share of issues too. Wouldn't recommend anyone using a Microsoft browser, no matter where in the world.

I do agree with you though that the people who may benefit most from this are likely to never even encounter this decision box. And even the ones that do will most likely just stick with IE because it's the only one they're familiar with and they're not aware of the benefits of switching.

It seems a little strange that a software company has to advertise its competitors, but let's face it, the browser is such a central part of people's lives that you can't really class it as just software - it's an appliance, like a TV or a toaster.
