And this is where the problem lies also, more so in the Government 
sector. A lot of company intranets are build to work on IE, and not much 
else. I do have experience with companies, where we've needed to make 
them compatible for IE/Safari/Firefox/etc. however they are few are far 
between, and until the companies decide they want to not use IE, I fear 
it is a long way away.
