Can Linux run IE7?

[gogalthorp]

If you have enough memory you can run Windows and Linux at the same time using VMware server (it's free). I recommend 1Gig min.

BTW you can also run Linux from a Windows Desktop but then who would want to.

You can copy and paste between OS's. Also connect by the virtual network connection.

You have not lived until you see Windows boot into a window on the Linux Desktop

I used to work for a company that had the same issue with browser based apps not working in anything but IE.
Though for a number of them opera worked, not all but most.

Do you specifically require IE7? If not, like suggested, ies4linux is a very valid option!

As netstrider noted if you are happy with IE 5, 5.5, or 6, you can use ies4linux:
Installation - IEs4Linux

Having stated the above, I have read that ie7 will run with a hack:
IEs 4 Linux News » Extra! Extra! IE7 running on Linux!

Note, I myself prefer the firefox browser, where it runs natively on Linux.

He uses Firefox too, but requires IE for some Australian site or something... Just wondering if it is specifically IE7, I doubt it...

I have IE7 installed on Linux using IEs4Linux, I use it for testing sites and only when I have to.

There are, unfortunately, still some sites that can only be viewed properly in IE. They are very rare, though, and I leave them the minute they tell me I'm using the 'wrong' browser!
