I've used this before. Works pretty good, but I can't get IE7 working.
It's still beta, and it's a hack, so that's pretty much expected :)
Some people are also having problems downloading everything and getting
it installed. The GUI crashes, I found the simplest thing was to run
"./ies4linux --no-gui --install-corefonts" and it typically works a lot
better than the GUI installer. I don't know if this is still the case,
but at one point this would validate as Genuine Windows for those pesky
downloads at microsoft.com that force you to validate Windows. I think
MS is checking for some registry key or another now though, not
completely certain where this is at.
