I downloaded this myself earlier today. So have I switched back to AvantBrowser or IE? Nope. I’m only using IE (or AvantBrowser) if there is a site that doesn’t work with Firefox (my eFax provider doesn’t work with Firefox, for example). Personally I haven’t had very many problems using Firefox either, so I’m sticking with it.
Will I dump Outlook or MS Office soon, saddly not likely. I like Outlook, actually, and really like some of the plugins I have for it (like Plaxo and NewsGator) so I’m not switching. MS Office is still such a common platform for basic business collaboration (the document formats that is) that I can’t really switch. My wife, however, will probably install OpenOffice for the spreadsheet.

Microsoft posts work-around for IE flaw: “Microsoft released on Friday a work-around for an Internet Explorer vulnerability that has left Windows users open to attacks for almost nine months.”
