Sounds like they're using this for internal tools, as a kind of thin-client layer. They could recommend or mandate a particular browser, and people would just use it. ("Click this icon, and a window opens with our internal tool. It's pretty much the same as any other browser, as far as you care.")

As an employee I would be really upset if you forced me to use a specific browser to do my work.

I have been forced to use IE for some internal apps when I was working in investment banking. It's not that bad.
