Great.  Now there's a mental image I just didn't need.

Of course.  Companies that make money stick with other companies that make money!

That's more or less what I thought. Symantec has a financial interest in keeping IE as the browser of choice for most users. The vast majority of the nasty things Symantec protects you from (And collects a fee for doing so!) are let into your machine by Microsoft products. MSFT is a goldmine for companies like Symantec. The last thing they want to see is a bunch of long-haired, dope-smoking, bare-footed, stinking of patchouli oil, hippie freaks spoiling their business model.
