    It'll be a cold day in hell when a Korean institution drops support for IE. There's basically nothing but Windows in Korea - mostly Win98 at that.

    Very few web sites in Korea work correctly on anything besides IE - you're SOL if you want to access your bank in Korea from a Mac, Linux, or using Firefox.
