    How many times this has to be said?
  • pufuwozu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I don't want to run it but I dugg it because of the fact that they got around what Microsoft tried stopping.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Excellent!
  • Inaeth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Great article! This should be a boon to most of the web developers out there that are tied to developing their pages in multiple ways to be cross-browser compatible.

    Unfortunately, I wouldn't put it past MS to see the silver lining in this technique for them. IE, they will see this as an excuse to NOT be standards compliant, thus increasing the workload for the world's developers.
  • Cablito, on 10/12/2007, -8/+1Why linux fanboys would run IE on linux beats me.

    Isn't Firefox so much better and IE just a piece of trash? Why run it in the "perfect" Linux?
