IE Functionality
theoldman59 states that " Internet Browsers must provide full IE functionality".

That would be the worst possible mistake that anyone could make. IE has been designed to be a vector for malicious software - were it not so, then Microsoft would long ago have written out the insecurities that make IE execute unsafe code automatically but issue the direst of warnings against accessing a plain ASCII <ocument.

It is PRECISELY because none of the browsers on Linux incorporate full IE functionality that they are gaining credibility with the public at large.
