Internet Explorer 7 on Linux

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the fun-and-exciting dept.

An anonymous reader writes to mention WebExpose is running a quick guide to get Internet Explorer 7.0 running on Linux. From the article: "Microsoft conditional comments do work, unlike the standalone version of IE on Windows, so you will be able to develop and test webpages across almost all major browsers (IE 5-7, Firefox, Opera) on one Linux box! Also note that we will avoid Microsoft's Genuine Advantage download validation checks, so pure-Linux users will be able to finish the process without having to find a genuine Windows machine to download the IE7 setup file (the check is avoided legitimately, by the way)."

    Because you're a big gayer and you don't have any friends. Installing IE would at least be a small step to re-integrating yourself with society. Once you're running IE, you can move onto more advanced topics like making eye contact with people and giong outside.

    ...is like putting ketchup on your ice cream. Sure, you can do it, you might even have some sort of wild reason to do it...but... it's still a waste of both the ice cream and the ketchup and makes you look rather silly. And if you get ordered to do it...then your mom is an idjit. If you get paid to do it...your dad is wasting the allowance money... If you do just because you want to.. you are living in denial and your older brother is laffin his ass off at how he faked you out....
