I’m not absolutely sure if you are right about that. But it may be a good reason.
And I think you can throw away IEs4linux as easy as a new extra virtual machine. You just have to remove your wine directories.

Have a lot of fun!

Richard> I haven’t used MS Windows on my own machines. Is it free and reasonably secure?

If you set it all up like I did, as a 4400MB virtual machine which you can copy over to a single-layer DVD, yes, then it should be reasonably secure. At least you can copy it back after you got the first viruses (that means: after some 15 minutes or so)

Aaahh, so THIS is what makes Ubuntu so popular?

The Wikipedia link to Heidi ist just there for people who may not have heard about her. You can enlarge the small screenshot thumbnail just on my page.

anyone?> IEs4linux ??

What is that? An IE which runs on Linux, with the help of WINE? Sorry, but I’d rather have a virtual machine which I can throw away (or restore), and which doesn’t poison the rest of my environment…

Millions of people are desperately browsing the web for pictures of the aforementioned kind, so don’t complain, once their passionate wishes are met.
And don’t post links to a wikipedia-page, when there could have been a link to the a.m. picture.

Btw: Heidi seems to be a quick dresser, since it took her only four paragraphs to turn from naked into half-naked…

Cheers

I doubt that this is OS specific, more of an Internet artifact. But I wouldn’t know, I haven’t used MS Windows on my own machines. Is it free and reasonably secure?
