Today, as a joke, I promised a colleague I’ll change to Linux when I get Internet Explorer on it (we need it for company mail, testing the application and such).

After googling 2min, I came across ies4linux, a simple way to install IE on various Linux installations. It took me about 5min to actually get IE 6 and 5.5 working, IE 7 support is in beta.

It’s emulated by Wine, so it’s feel somewhat slower, but not annoying. No configuration, just run 5-6 simple commands (which you can copy past from the site).

Impressed!
