I do web development for some sites, and I use CrossOver Office to run I.E.
5.5 SP2 on my Linux box. I also use the KDE desktop and set my Konqueror
browser to "emulate" IE 5.5 SP2. I also have Netscape (not stripped down
Mozilla!) on here.  One of the nice things I found out about Linux when I
started working with it, was that there are multiple ways of getting
software to run so I WOULDN'T have to reboot.

Another example, if you use HomeSite or ColdFusion for editing, check out
Bluefish (www.bluefish.org). Works and looks just like HomeSite, but it's
free and it runs under Linux.
