In my experience, even when IE works in Wine it doesn't work exactly the same as it does on a real Windows machine. I think a much more reliable way to test things in IE is to download the free XP and Vista virtual machine images from Microsoft which are intended for exactly this purpose: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef&displaylang=en And here's someone's blog about converting the VirtualPC hard drive image into other formats for use on Linux in Virtualbox: http://www.abdevelopment.ca/blog/running-microsofts-ie-application-compatibility-images-virtualbox Rather than downloading several virtual machine images, you could just download one and install IETester into it: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage which lets you do browsing with IE versions from 5.5 through 8 and side-by-side comparisons between versions.
