You are forgetting one thing, version 1.1 will be released, then later 1.5. With these releases it will address some things that stop people from switching.

I really dont know what rock you live under, but almost everybody i know uses firefox these days. It is slowly catching on. To many big holes in IE for me to even think about anymore. And people want competition not just one product.

 The hard truth is that FF has equally dangerous holes (pre 1.0.3 allowed exploiters to grab anything in RAM including your passwords) -- hence the prompt update to 1.0.3 recently. And many of it's not-well-coded plug-ins cause hangs and crashes for quite a number of power users (think Winamp + bad plug-ins).

Get on the FF dev forums and look around for a bit before you get atop a mountain and sing it's praise so loud. All software have bugs and FF is no better than IE at stopping a version 1.x from having them. In the pre 1.x days the FF dev team used the "it's still beta" excuse quite a lot but now they are forced to work much harder and face real world expectations. Apple's Safari is equally under stress and is known to hang equally well as IE or FF.

FF is however an excellent example of what can be achieved when a team of people put their minds together.

You will also want to check out slashdot for recent info on how FF development is under threat these days.
