.. well, i did run IE in wine a couple of times, it was a nightmare as a browser, unstable and slower than Opera, but it did work. i even loaded java applets and flash trash in it.. i also got some of the Office suite to open up. it was, to say it in a single word, unusable. ( fonts, opening files, practically nothing worked ) all of this using codeweavers wine. so, the point is i think IE is possible, but office is a longer shot. oh, and by the way, opening MS Word thru wine ( which means opening up the wineserver and all that stuff wine does before the actual program begins to run ) is still WAY faster than OpenOffice. i mean i can open 4 instances of word thru wine while i watch the OpenOffice splash. :o( i think the OO guys have reached a somewhat mature point of usability and should focus on optimisation now..
