Yes - I don't use 'modern' sites without explicit authorization. And I'll blow them off if I have to answer too many Noscript prompts.
It is wise to keep your software up to bleeding edge with all the latest fixes. But some of us have a life away from the keyboard ;-) Interesting observation about Firefox users - folks a bit more knowledgeable. Also interesting is that the risks of using IE are borne by the end user, not the company. Perhaps we need to give these companies some incentives to support Firefox to counter the pressure from MS.

Many customers, though, seem to be using IE. I guess the employees have little choice.
