Internet Explorer isn't the only browser out there.

No, but for large windows installations based on active directory it's the only one they can easily manage. Other browsers need to provide an MSI installer to make it easy, though after 5.5 years of asking, Firefox still doesn't have one:

Also lots of people need IE for ActiveX based intranet webapps - people seem to have a real mis-understanding of the real issues.

JFGI: "firefox MSI".

And before you say but it has to have proper support, yadda-yadda. They're an MS Certified Partner and an established company based in Pennsylvania - if the MSI is messed up you should be able to sue them for losses or pay them for support.

I've never used nor do I have connection with this company - caveat emptor.

They have a "Donate" link and no options for support I could see - It doesn't really inspire you with confidence.

Being a Microsoft Certified Partner just means some of your staff have passed some MS exams and you paid MS some money.
