Internet Explorer on Linux

Those who want to test web site designs in different browsers and whose main work place runs Linux now can easily install Internet Explorer and Flash Player 9 using Wine, thanks to the IEs4Linux project.

I have installed it and found it quite useful. I use Internet Explorer mainly to check how styles designed for Firefox look there, to browse Flash 9 sites (Linux has only version 7 of the Flash Player), or those built for IE only. There is one issue though, Favorites don’t work, because of the way how IE bookmarks function in Windows (they are just link files with association).
