[clue-tech] Good Linux solution for Hotmail

[Brian Gibson]

In my emulation exploration, I first tried Sun's VirtualBox.  Runs IE sufficiently well enough that I didn't bother moving to another emulator since it was so easy to setup.  Granted I have not tried it against Hotmail but I expect it to work just fine.  You can even dedicate an entire desktop to just the emulator if you wanted.  With Compiz Fusion you can even get the nifty desktop switcher.

The white list.

The last time I checked was about 4 months ago, and it didn't run under wine.  But, as I say, I so seldom need Visio now outside of work that it's really a non-issue.

Having been MS-free for several years now, except for the blasted XP VM, it's nice to finally be done with it. :)
