If all you really want is MSIE (which I have to for web dev), then I recommend 
installing ies4linux.

Frank's Corner mentions it but doesn't rave about it like I think it 
should :-)

http://frankscorner.org/index.php?p=ies4linux

It is a very simple (and quite elegant IMHO) bash script that asks which 
versions of MSIE you want.

It creates a new WINE config directory.

It then downloads all required files (DCOM, RichEdit32 etc) and then downloads 
the install(s) for each of the versions that you want and installs them.

Finally it creates bash scripts in ~/bin for each of your versions.

I use ie5 and ie6

Hope this is helpful.

Cheers,
