I'm going to agree with the enterprise statement by Mozilla, the organization I work for has over 100,000+ desktops. Normal users aren't allowed to install applications on these, so any updates have to be automated or done by PC Support staff...there is no way that a browser that get updated every six weeks is going to be "approved software". Heck, by the time the IT staff vetted the updates a new update would be available.

As for browser application being independent, in theory you'd think so, but at least in our industry health care and health insurance everything is windows (.NET) so definitely requires windows on the servers and most only support IE.

It scares me to know that we have operating rooms that run windows xp...
