If you must run Internet Explorer 5.5, 6 or 7 on the Mac

For those with Intel-equipped Macs, you can run Internet Explorer with Wine in much the same method as Linux users do.

A guy named Mike Kronenberg made this possible. The process involves installing X11 and Darwine. I haven't tried this (all I've got is a G4 Mac), but it's worth exploring if, for some reason, you need a version of IE past the final one that Microsoft released for the Mac (5.2 or something of that sort). I'd love to see this for PowerPC, but I'm not optimistic.
