You should "bother" if only to provide an example to those who don't.
Most Windows users are marginally computer literate so use only what is
supplied as default with their installation of Windows. That is why
there is such a mass proliferation of Internet Explorer and Outlook
Express users on the internet. These people simply do not know of the
problems they cause nor do they, in most cases, have a clue what to do
about it. They just want to use the internet, not become techheads. For
many, installing a program is fraught with difficulty. Don't expect them
to delve into the bowels of their default browser or email/usenet client
to adjust settings much less install a decent version. These are the
people who provide employment for a raft of Windows "experts" but they
only seek assistance when things go horribly wrong.

Get used to them, they are out there and, what's worse, they are breeding!
