"A public university with an enrollment of over 80,000 puts the kibosh on Microsoft's Internet Explorer."

well, I for one am not overly worried and I use IE. I did the security test at one of the sites mentioned in the article and my google pop up blocker kept anything from happening to me. I've tried other browsers and I really prefer IE over the others.

I use IE at home, but when on the road I use FireFox on my laptop mainly. Hotel networks are really bad and I have gotten all kinds of trojans and worms there so I prefer to use something a bit more secure than IE when using their networks.
