Due to the recent Lawsuit against Microsoft,
http://news.com.com/Will+Microsoft+tweak+IE%3F/2100-1012_3-5069943.html?tag=nl
courtesy of /., many sites that only work with IE may have to change a bit
and IE may even be changed.
This link is to IE View. What it does: Adds "View page in Internet Explorer"
links to the content and link context menu. Handy for previewing pages in
IE, loading up IE-only pages when you run across them in Mozilla, etc.

Hope this helps,
