Hi All, One of the biggest factors of me crossing over to full time linux, at work and at home is the ability to run IE(please no flames). I just get really frustrated going to websites that run perfectly on IE, and seeing them all jumbled up on opera/mozilla or whatever because they don't support HALF the amount of functions IE has implemented e.g go to ninemsn.com.au, www.msn.com, www.microsoft.com sorry cant remember any non-ms sites :).
I have been messing around with running IE using WINE, but after I got past a couple SHLWAPI.DLL not found and the like, when I run 'wine iexplore.exe' it just thinks for a bit and then returns to the prompt... I have had a peep at crossover office/plugin - how well does this work?? I am really only looking to get IE running nicely. I don't want to spend my US$60 to find that it works for most, but not for me. It's a real pitty they don't have a demo release! Or not one that I can find! Maybe someone can suggest another way of running IE?? I don't want to run any sort of VM - I just want to run a single app. A contributing factor to wine not working for me I think is the fact that I run win2k on the other partition I was trying to run IE off - everyone posting on the wine forums seemed to be running win95/98 flavours. BTW, I'm running MDK9.0, 1Ghz PIII-M, 256MB RAM - power shouldn't be a problem. Any appropriate suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
