I work a lot with HP-UX at it's very own company's place and neither i nor actually any of my colleages has used or even seen IE on HP-UX. As i'm told it is pretty unsusable on either Solaris and HP-UX because it depends so much on the Win32 API that at least half of windows had to be ported to *NIX to make it crawl^H^H^Hrun on it. > "Internet Explorer 5 and Outlook Express are now available on both > Solaris and HP-UX!
