In think 'grass roots missionary work' is a good term Nathan, but I had
assumed that you work in the area of web development? Anyone involved in
this area must develop for the most popular browser (instead of criticising
it!)

Some of we poor souls (about 80% of us) choose to use IE.

I'm not sure that "choice" is the appropriate noun. I still recall ISP's
offering Netscape and IE options when people signed up for their service,
and I think Netscape had something like 80% of the market share, back then.
Then Microsoft embedded IE in Windows... And it's not like you can even
uninstall it, or separate it out from Windows updates. And since Microsoft
essentially rebuffed the government's attempt to intervene on behalf of
consumer choice, I think a little bit of grass-roots missionary work is in
order.

Nathan.
