its not what you asked. you asked what browser to use to replace msie.as msie 
is not _really_ used on linux [1], i naturally assumed you were asking for a 
_windows_ replacement, which is frankly so far OT as to want me to be damn 
rude, but I'll hold my tongue.

If you had said "whats a browser thats cross platform and could be used to 
help transition users from windows to linux?" then you would have got a more 
polite answer, and the question would have immediately been obviously on 
topic..

 If that had been the question I would have said  "mozilla, or its standalone 
browser firefox, or alternatively opera."

but you didn't ask that did you?

[1] someone has proved that msie will run on linux via wine, in order to prove 
that msie is not so inextricably linked to the OS as to make it 
unbundle-able.  But I don't count that as a solution, as it sounded pretty 
fragile.
