And if I would, it would just show the incompetence of its developers. I'm professionally working with Linux now for more than a year and got a lot more productive. Give it a try!

I’m professionally working with Linux now for more than a year and got a lot more productive. Give it a try!

Another convert for the linux world! Linux has long had a development effort for MS Windows OS emulation via a package called wine. An example of a stand-alone IE emulator that uses wine (as well as the package cabextract) is called IEs 4 Linux: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page I'm currently running Fedora Core 8 and, some time ago, easily installed all three (wine and cabextract via "yumex", the YUM extender for package installation/updating) and ies4linux from the command line. Piece of cake in FC8, and it runs fine. I would attach a screen shot of IE6 in action viewing MSNBC, but I don't know how to attach images to the comments section of your blog... I look forward to reading about your next steps into the linux world! Actually, I think you’re good to go. Another convert for the linux world!

It is standards compliant, which is what IE is trying to achieve. But you still make a valid point. Firefox isn’t attempting to emulate IE.
