Why ? There are superior browsers to replace IE under linux. Priority
should be given to aplications that don't have a valid alternative under
Linux. (Yes I know that some sites requires IE and that webdeveloppers
have a natural interest into tesing their websites into crippled
software).

You have to understand that developpers don't take an application and
try to make it work. They are implementing a set of features and when
the features required by an application are sufficiently implemented,
the application starts to work.

Best regards.
