I gave up on AU myself years ago as a result of it continually borking day to day use in some way or other (continuous BIOS loop was a classic). I actually don't know many 'Doze users who keep it turned on...

our school is still on IE6, its horrific to use and ccrashes if you go anywhere near a flash animation >.<
