Yes, it was partially tongue in cheek.

That said, most of those who understand there are multiple browsers likely do so due to a time when, yes, IE was -terrible-...and so all their saved stuff, preferred plugins, etc, are in Firefox or Chrome. So their first act on getting a new computer is to reinstall and sync that stuff. Not "give that new Microsoft browser a spin".

There was a time when IE was arguably the best browser for Windows. Unfortunately, this time was about 20 years ago.
