I agree--the thought of IE makes my stomach turn. (For the record, I did try
running Firefox in Wine and it seems to work.) I've read that some programs
install/run better in Wine if IE is present. Perhaps that is no longer the
case with current versions of Wine but I haven't heard otherwise. Although,
if I were a web developer, I suppose having access to IE in Linux would be
invaluable.
