We know that you don't have to be an expert - but if you are not into computers and/or technology in general, it's really hard to keep up with these things. Half my co-workers do not know Firefox, and 80% and we work with data processing, for God's sake. For some of them, it seems It's just more comfortable to keep using the browser you're used to.
And we must keep in mind that, among those who access the web, half of the demographic might not be computer-savvy. Take my aunt, for example: bought a laptop so she could do her work at home (she is a teacher), but that is pretty much the basics - word, excel, and a little internet on 'that program' that she don't even know the name.

Submission + - Ct Allows Dell To Kill Consumer Class Action Suit
An anonymous reader writes: Michael Geist reports
that the Supreme Court of Canada has just issued a new online
contracting decision that removes the ability for consumers to
challenge mandatory arbitration clauses found in e-commerce contracts.
The case involved a lawsuit against Dell Computer, which refused to
sell hundreds of mistakenly priced computers purchased on their
website. Dell tried to sidetrack a class action by claiming that
all consumers were required to enter arbitration due to a clause buried
in its contract via a hyperlink.
