The problem is that if you post that on a Windows site, some people there will make charcoal of you and the others will read "get read of your legs since walking and running are hazardous activities". They consider IE as THE browser. When I recommended firefox to a colleague, he asked "is it compatible ?". He meant with the net !
Most people I know consider the core applications coming with Windows as the only such applications and Windows the only OS. Now, that's impressive marketing. The planted the seed of fear (that what these crashes and performance loss are for) and now are reaping the benefit of the doubt. Even seasoned Unix engineers (I know a few) won't even take Linux for a spin.
