I trick(?) used at a place I worked for was to install Firefox and make 
a desktop shortcut to it for the GUI.

The interesting part was that once the users got using Firefox and 
realized it did browsing better (mostly using tabs) they converted to 
Firefox.  IE was still on the desktop because they had to support a lot 
of customers that used IE but for in-house stuff it slowly became a 
Firefox place.
