Not even this, actually. As you should have seen yourself, IE is at
best available on Solaris and HP-UX but this definitely still rules
out Linux. 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.
