Getting Internet Explorer 7 to work with WINE was a fairly pointless exercise wasn't it? Does anybody use it still?

Many sites tell you to upgrade if you use Internet Explorer 7
It looks to me like a "proof of concept", a way of saying that WINE is so complete that even Microsoft's own software will run on it.
...that even Microsoft's own cr@pware will run on it.
Using any version of IE would scare the heck out of me; I never use it - there's no need.

Incidentally, there's a very sad comment on the ABC (Australia) about the phishing scams and what is going on. Apparently the lady in the video was on the ABC news report at 7.30pm last night.

It is so sad to see these gullible people taken in by these disgusting scams and apparently, it's worth doing. I occasionally get phishing emails and am amazed that anybody could be taken in when they look at the structure and content of the texts sent. Sadly, there will always be those who get their fingers burnt.
The only Windows software I really care about WINE supporting is Adobe Digital Editions (and that only until the public library can be persuaded to abandon OverDrive for lending digital materials).
My WINE runs only Wizard101. I don't even installed Virtual Box any more.
