At Oakland, our Helpdesk installs IE, Netscape, and Mozilla Firefox as part of our default image. We are hearing more and more that users enjoy Firefox.

We offer Mozilla as an alternative in our general access computer labs

labs) looking hard at Firefox - I have started using Firefox and I love
it (especially the tabbed browsing feature). Because so many pages have
been written to work on nothing but IE, I don't think that we would find
it easy to remove it from the labs or administrative workstations -
yet.

With the numerous vulnerabilities with IE there has been some talk
around campus about the possibility of moving to another browser. I
was
wondering if anyone else has changed or is thinking of changing to
another browser.
