To all those who have been discussing IE on Linux using wine, etc:

My experience is that yes, IE will run on Linux BUT you have the same issues with IE/Linux as you do with other browsers in Linux when you land on a site that uses IE'Window's ability to use Direct-X to display graphics. Since there is no comparable mechanism in the Linux spec (it violates every principle that we hold dear), running IE on Linux is a waste of time.

I have been forced to run IE on Linux (I use crossover office) as our company's time report stuff is web based. It checks specifically for MS's java. Which I can only run in MS IE. My protests had little effect. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
