Actually, now both my parents and most of their friends are now using Firefox because I'm fixing their systems. I've found that most of the time when I'm asked to help, it's due to some form of spyware taking advantage of the lax security in IE and installing itself on their system. As part of the clean up, I install Firefox, remove most of the default IE shortcuts, set Firefox as the default browser, and set IE to not ask. Then I explain why they should use Firefox instead. While I'm sure that my words are mostly ignored, most people tend to use the most convienient browser. Since most of these people don't even know how to make a shortcut, much less how to change a browser association, they start using Firefox until it feels natural.
I've setup numerous inspirons with ghost. If this is the screen i'm thinking of, then it's on its own partition (about 30 megs or so) right before the boot partition. I don't believe this is stored in the bios. However, hypothetically, if it was, then yes short of a bios flash there would be no way around it.
