If you have office apps covered, you might still come across some
IE-only sites.  You can try to play around with FireFox's User Agent
Switcher addon, or you can install IE on x86 Linux easily enough with
the IEs4Linux script provided at:

Some sites still may not work, but it is a step up from the User Agent
switcher for some incompatible, proprietary sites, and it is free
(beer).
