Try to use your imagination. A virtual Windows machine is a great
solution for people like me who don't like Windows but can't do their
job without it. I run an OSX machine at home and use a virtual WinXP
machine to VPN into work. I run four different browsers for various
reasons and IE is my least favorite, but we have browser based tools
at work that only run on IE so I need to have it available. There are
also apps that I have for personal use that have no OSX or Linux (I
run a Linux server too) equivalent.


I need to keep a copy of MS IE on one machine because my required State
monthly tax reports can _only_ be filed through IE.

write and complain. seriously. this is america. monopolies are
supposed to be illegal.

My state is run by the democrat party. I can't afford the 'pay to play'
fees.

Wasn't the DOA [1] a creation of Tommy Thompson? The DOA runs the state
government, irregardless of elected politicians.

[1] Dept. of Administration aka Dead On Arrival.
