Nope. Corporations to not want two browsers that might have to be updated
and patched. They also do not want the risk of two browsers that could each have vulnerabilities. And, if you say that there is no advantage to being the bundled default, lets turn the tables and make FireFox or Opera the default, then people can download IE if they think it is better. There is no advantage to bundling, right????? The same number would use IE, even if it was not the default, right????
