    Well, office 97 will not run anymore on most PCs and hasnt for years...

    Actually, microsoft's office 97 will... or did you mean microsoft's office 97 under microsoft's OS?

    I have success with this method but YMMV. Or else run windows in a VM? If you only need it to run IE, you should have no worries whatsoever.

    Thank you Captain Obvious, did you happen to notice that Pricewatch has Windows XP Pro listed for $88? If you didn't, then you obviously did not click the link.

    I was going to write use Windows XP Pro, but felt that the person who asked already knew that XP Home is not allowed under a virtual machine. Besides even if he did run XP Home under a virtual machine who is going to know?

    Yes for good sakes he could just run Linux, but how about IE? He needs to run XP Pro under XEN or some other open source virtual machine.

    What you forgot to mention, and so did I, was that Internet Explorer can be made to run under WINE under Linux. An easy way to do it is to use the IEs4Linux install scripts. Under the same Office 2003 or whatever the college offers as well.

    But please note that the posted said he uses Windows, but does not want to allow pop-ups and opening up his firewall under Windows, and wanted a virtual machine solution under Windows not Linux, but thank you for your option to use Linux instead. It lead to this post, which has more useful information in it.

    P.S. pay no attention to Anonymous Cowards, most of the AC posts are trolls.

    Bordeaux runs the same on FreeBSD as Linux, I guess I could add some screenshots of Bordeaux running on FreeBSD.. Oh hold on they are here : http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/bordeaux/bordeaux-for-freebsd-coming-soon.html

    And Microsoft doesn't have an Excel 2007 version on Ubuntu, unfortunately.

    Quit whining and start WINEing. Excel 2007 Viewer is one of the fully supported apps, and Excel 2007 works too.

  7. Re:Those that haven't already changed... by mixmatch · · Score: 1 · on Experts Say To Switch Browsers In Light of IE Vulnerability

    and whoever deals with the web interface gets licenses for virtualisation software and windows + kubuntu. This way, everything will be tested on Safarai, Firefox, Opera, IE, Konqueror and Chrome.

    Not only can you run Safari in the virtualised windows installation (which you might use for IE and chrome anyway), but you can run Safari with Wine. So yes, can run Safari. I'm not aware of any rendering differences between the Mac and Windows versions.
