IE6 runs quite well in the new version of WINE without XOO. BTW, There
is a user agent extension to Firefox that identifies it as IE. I also
found that if you install java from a windows installation of Firefox it
will work in IE (trying to install it from IE doesn't seem to work).
I find XOO to be rather, well, ponderous. Ultimately, IMHO, the best way
to occasionally run a windows app on a Fedora machine is to set up dual
boot. In the end it is easier, faster and far more stable. Of course the
YMMV note surely applies.
