++ I had a similar situation at a company I worked for. The Asterisk UI needed Firefox. So we installed Firefox, made a desktop shortcut for it, then as we had chances we let folks know they could use Firefox as their browser plus they got multiple TABs not multiple copies of IE. They needed to have anywhere from 3-7 web apps open at once. It might be interesting to fiddle Firefox using XUL, Chrome, etc. to make it look a little different than a web browser. Similar to the way Komodo does. Like Chris(?) mentioned it might be a long time before Microsoft gets IE up to par.
