IE still has an enormous bulk of users, but those they've lost are power users and web developers. Web developers, more than anyone, are the ones who have controlled browser success. They're not OSS fanboys, they are the ones that want the best working conditions available. They took IE4 over Netscape 4, and FF over IE6. They have no issue reverting to IE if IE resumes its best-of-category status.
Not necessarily...many utilize Linux or Mac instead of Windows. There's no IE anymore on the Mac, and Linux doesn't have it. So far Opera and Firefox are the only mainstream multiplatform browsers.
