We are forced to build two browsers into our Windows workstation images for the School: Firefox (mozilla without the mail) and IE. IE is there because so many application developers have already 'mandated' the use of IE by using features that are only available in IE. Firefox is installed because we have a commmittment to ~ cross platfrom standards, which IE isn't.
So, if someone were to come along and provide an application that only ran in Firefox that would be no problem and pretty much just another example of behavior that we already have to live with.
Macintosh workstations, which are still a presence in educational settings in the US, pretty much have Safari as their primary browser. Some people have Mac IE, but's it's getting long in the tooth and has not kept up with IE on Windows. Most of the applications that need IE also need Windows as well (activeX components or components so tuned for the Windows platform that they don't work well outside of windows, i.e. we have some Flash stuff like that).
