That last little bit is more like 'Goodbye, IE on XP'; people are for
the most part upgrading their OS as they buy new computers; very few
people will buy a new computer just for a new web browser from
Microsoft ;)

BUT this is a good opportunity to remind people that Microsoft
products are shoddy and should be replaced with alternatives as much
as possible! (especially high quality software libre... yay Firefox 4!
:)
