As a UK government worker, my current browser of choice is Firefox 4.0 Beta 2. Those of us in the office who are at least a bit tech savvy have Chrome or Firefox running on our desktops. Unlike schools, mainstream government departments have bespoke software that relies on IE to function (which I don't use, but I know about 80% of the office use). New laptops are now W7 with IE8, but until the IT department wants to upgrade all the bespoke systems so that they can function with IE8, it IS too expensive.
