Firefox has an add-in called "IE Tab" which will open a URL with IE as
the rendering engine. It works with Windows Update and other IE-oriented
pages flawlessly.

There is an option in SAFARI to imitate IE if you are desperate
enough. I have (I am using SAFARI) run across pages that were coded
*ONLY* to work in IE. Usually I write the name of the company down
and then boycott their products. Sometimes if I am extremely
inconvenienced I will write to WEB author. Unfortunetly those sites
don't exist all that much.
Sometimes they don't need it to *work* like IE, only that it is
identified as IE. Opera has long defaulted to lie that it is IE.
The interesting thing about this is that Web Masters use that
statistic to say that they don't need to support other browsers.
One such Web Master is the author of this page:

I haven't tried it yet in Safari, but it won't work with Firefox on
Windows.
