[SBE] Question for the IT folks about IE add-ons - how many of the Java Plug-In updates does a computer need?

[Matt Antalek]

I agree with Stephen about running Firefox.  MS has actually
recognized the popularity of FF by adding many of the features (like
tabbed browsing).

If you're worried that some sites won't work in FF...well, there's an
IE add-on that works beautifully.  It allows you to open a new tab
that runs like IE.  Very useful.
