Sometimes, changing the browser is a project that will take months to complete (think: corporation with thousands of PCs at hundreds of sites - it takes time to create the business case, get funding, build/test the auto install package, retrain the end users, etc.). In the period of exposure, any little bit helps (albeit, minimally). This small change can probably be done in a couple of weeks with no impact to the user. -Eric
