I have been using FF in IBM (on Windows XP) since 2004 as my default browser. It happens about once in two weeks I have to use IE because some specific pages don't work well with FF. It was not internally supported for some time, so it was not possible to complain. Since it became supported, incompatible pages inside IBM were greatly reduced.
