I use Internet Explorer, just for the very few occasions where I need it,
then I use firefox (for windows) to compare with Linux, if needed and I
always use the microsoft viewers 97, for the occasions where I need to have
the "official Microsoft layout" before sending something to the outside
(microsoftcentric-) world, which is rare, but it happens.
