Absolutely terrible advice. Internet Explorer has more holes in it than
Swiss cheese, and fails miserably to implement many standards properly
(most notably, CSS, HTML, HTTP, and PNG).
There are reasons why Windows versions of Mozilla and Opera exist; the
one I can think of right off-hand is so one person can use the same
browser on multiple operating systems. There is no native, currently
maintained version of Internet Explorer for GNU/Linux and other GNU
variants, OpenBSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, Solaris, AIX, HP/UX, MacOS 9, MacOS
X, IRIX, and, for that matter, just about every other operating system
out there *not* made by Microsoft.
