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.

Best wishes,

Roy
