Jay,

In my experience, Mac's browser Safari works quite well and is easy to use.
Moreover, it comes as part of the standard package with the later versions
of OSX.  I see little reason to see that users who wish to move off IE would
go to Opera or Firefox over Safari.

Here's a review of Safari with the end of IE/Mac in mind:
