Yeah, I toyed with downloading the MS stuff, but I didn't see a IE5.5 image anywhere and the images themselves were several hundred mb each. I am proud to say though that the IE6 wine combo displayed the same "disappearing content" bug of IE6 on WinXP ;)
If the vmware linux image doesn't prove to be reliable, I'll probably end up downloading the ms images....just wish they would work with vmware instead of having to install another software package....but then, if their stuff played nice with other stuff, they wouldn't be called Microsoft.
