We need to use IE for most banking/online shopping sites. So the market share of Windows/IE in Korea is higher than other parts of the world.

Most people have Windows/IE installed together with their preferred OS/browser, myself included.

For mobile banking the situation's a little bit better but it is cumbersome nonetheless.

I think the payment system in S. Korea has a lot of potential for disruption, but the current regulatory laws force the businesses to use ActiveX.

Wow. Here I was thinking CFAA was a bad law.
