blame the user

Its always easy to blame the vendor but in this instance, I don't see why it's Microsoft's fault that some users won't update their browsers. the updates are there, users know where to find them and in some cases are notified of them, what more can they do? force users to upgrade?
They don't make any money on browsers, so don't expect a huge marketing push.
In my opinion by making the updates available and notifying you, they've done enough.
