Or rather, a no mess no fuss approach to installing IE on your Linux desktop.
Why the hell would anyone want to do that? Haven’t I heard of Firefox? Other miscellaneous questions with a generally incredulous tone?
The reason is simple: Flash 8 (and those pesky non-compliant sites). Until macromedia get their asses into gear, this is what I have to resort to to get my weebls-stuff ‘On the Moon’ fix.

I find this to be a better solution for my Windows IE needs, although quite whether it’ll work correctly in Linux I’m less sure.
Update – windows only for IEtab. Bummer.
