germany giving internet explorer boot due to security flaws

http://thenextweb.com/europe/2010/01/15/germany-giving-internet-explorer-boot-due-security-flaws/ I am guessing that not many people here use IE? But just wondering should IE be ignored completely?

Firefox is just so much better, I really don't see the point in anyone ever having or wanting to use IE over it. The problem is that IE is bundled with the OS, whereas Firefox (and other browser choices) are not.
So those that don't know any different will just use what's available to them (IE) by default, which I guess is part of the reasoning behind the Germans warning their people to seek alternatives as you can bet people still wouldn't know there are much better alternatives.
