Jaisen and Yogi, It seems to me that that website can only be opened in Windows. Linux users need to access it via a browser on a cloud (Or via wine, but why go thorough the hassle?). I can access it in Linux using a copy of Windows in a virtual machine (But again, why to go through the hassle?)

Thanks Kiran for clarifying. I'm glad that they have taken this initiative to bring SOI's data accessible to people. I think they should take the next step to make data more open given that lots of (taxpayers') money was utilized to create that database for development purpose. Anyway, I have sent
