Internet Explorer for Linux?

Just what the world needs, Microsoft applications that run on Linux. A shrewd move by Microsoft indeed. Is Microsoft afraid of Linux, pshaaaw, not at all! Linux must simply be assimilated and dismembered properly and then will pose no threat, heres the plan: release all of Microsofts apps free for Linux! That way Linux starts slowing down, crashing abd being a general nightmare, problem for Redmond solved! Shrewd indeed!Check this slightly more serious Slashdot IE on Linux Story. Which implies that Microsoft actually does have IE plans on Linux, great, just what the world needs.
