Migration woes from Windows to Mac
June 13, 2007
Ah, the irony. Mac, supposedly easy to switch to (unlike desktop Linux–supposedly not easy to switch to), can’t run Internet Explorer, as far as I can tell. My mother-in-law has a website she has to use (it’s work-related) that works in only IE, and even User Agent Switcher can’t get around it.
Yes, yes, yes, I know that IEs4Linux is supposed to work for the new Intel Macs, but have you actually tried installing it on a Mac recently? Have you? Every guide I’ve come across links to some dead links somewhere along the way. I can’t find wine in the available Fink packages to install, and all the links to Darwine are dead links. Geez. That’s annoying. In Ubuntu, I can get IEs4Linux up and running in minutes. Argh!
Well, I’m off to do more research…
