Or ship your competing product as part of an automated
system update (i.e. unprepared users will have it "right in
their face, so to speak", as Bill Gates once said in the
conext of Netscape). IE7 remains integrated with the file
manager, which definitely hinders faster adoption of Web
browsers such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera, who fight an
uphill battle and still manage to gradually win.
