*All* of my FireFox users are mainstream. Some of them are dumber than rocks, some of them are geniuses, it doesn't seem to matter. Some tried it because MSIE was broken for them at the time and grew to love the tabs and blocking, others tried it for the features, others tried it for security reasons, all love it. Not one has reverted to MSIE as their primary browser, although most keep the blue e tucked away somewhere for sites that demand it.

Ditto for OpenOffice. Some don't notice the change, others are delighted by it. One (hi, Billy C) installed it to get around a broken copy of MS-Word and wound up not only switching (mainly because its Chinese input is much better, he says) but promoting it to his local Chamber of Commerce without any input ot hints from advcates.
