The useragent switcher only works if the site looks at the browser string. Mozilla and it's 
derivatives still give out the default information to any javascript check which renders it useless 
on all but the most basic sites. <sigh> It's a longstanding bug with Mozilla.

I had to install windows ME under Win4Lin to get a version of IE that would work with my companies 
bloody accounting software.
I mean whats the point of having software with a browser interface if it ties into IE specific 
"extensions" and won't work with anything else?

And no, IE6 installed under crossover office just locks up hard when trying to access this system. 
It appears to bend IE completely to it's ragged edge.

QEmu is starting to look good though, perhaps not long until I can install windows inside that. Even 
win2k is getting close now.
