It's as the author says: IE glady rides the backseat in standards, and it’s making my life terrible. In the inverse of your problem, I often have to interface with enterprise web applications and help some of our other staff with them. They are only approved to work on Windows XP with Internet Explorer 6 (though I think many have finally moved to IE7 as a supported platform). This causes all sorts of headaches for my Linux users when we have to access the financial system or report time and leave. There was a period of about 6 months where I was logging into the one Windows computer in my group to report vacation because it was the only one with the right version of Java and IE to get it to work.
