Vista

So what'll be next then? The remittance of indulgences to the Gates foundation?

The only time I ever run IE is to do Windows patches.

That's nevertheless a lot of times. You must be a very heavy internet user :)

In the few other cases where websites demand IE, I've found that User Agent Switcher will allow FF to work by pretending to be IE. Unforunately, there are a few websites that just don't work at all, or have severely limited functionality, with FF.

So he asked me how to install Firefox (showed him, added NoScript) and it all worked fine again.

Amusing that IE7 pushed someone away from M$ browser (which has no business being part of the OS).
