Boy, talk about folks taking a joke the wrong way.  The wink should have been a hint.

I'm happy that Hans got IE 7 working and installed.  I also think there is more work to be done before it can be fully used and then there should be patches submitted to implement this either in Wine Gecko or to allow installation of this product in Wine.

Again, good job Hans and thank you for the screen shot showing IE7 can work with Wine.
