Over at UnixTutorials there’s a post on howto run IE on Linux (via wine) using a no mess hassle free script called IEs4Linux. I haven’t tried this out yet, but it sounds pretty interesting, apparently allowing you to install and run three different versions of IE (5, 5.5 & 6). The only reason to run IE is of course to see how your website behaves in a prevalently non-standards compliant environment.
Back in my day I was a user of qemu and Crossover for my MS Window needs on a Linux workstation. I was primarily looking for a business solution to run the MS Office suite without the headache and hassle of managing Windows Workstations. We had mixed results and that’s probably a post for another time.
This howto sounds like a good solution to try if running IE is your only MS itch.

I wondered which should be used for dynamics sites using flash css javascript forms etc.
I was looking at this companies corporate plan and would like to have the option to set up several seperate websites for different customers
assigning each an allotment of space with seperate access by them and allowing me access is this site suitable for my needs or is it as it seems just too good to be true???
