There are several ways to run Windows programs within Linux; if all you 
need is IE and Office tools, try "Crossover Office" which is a modified 
form of WINE.  See http://www.codeweavers.com/products/office/

Other products are Win4Lin and VMWare, which allow you to run entire 
Windows sessions within your Linux OS, and support many other Windows apps 
besides IE and Office.

The above are all commercial, closed-source, non-free software.  If you're 
interested in running Windows programs under Linux for free, try Wine : 
http://www.winehq.com/ .  You may or may not get IE to work...it's not 
easy.
