If one wants to use two popular browsers (namely [http://www.apple.com/safari/ Safari] and [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/ie/default.mspx Microsoft Internet Explorer] with [http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E59C3964-672D-4511-BB3E-2D5E1DB91038&displaylang=en Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar]) under [http://www.ubuntu.com/ Ubuntu] or [http://www.ubuntu.com/products/whatisubuntu/derivatives one of its flavours] to test the compatibility of his or her Web application, he or she must use [http://www.winehq.org/ Wine] for this purpose. It is important to note that in order to run Microsoft Internet Explorer under Ubuntu, one has to obtain a legal copy of [http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ Microsoft Windows]. One can also experience problems when installing Internet Explorer Developer Toolbar, because [http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page IEs 4 Linux] installs Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 in such a fashion, that it runs under a simulated Microsoft Windows 98 environment, whereas the aforementioned toolbar requires Microsoft Windows 2000 or newer. If [http://www.wine-doors.org/ Wine-Doors] is used to accomplish this goal, it may suffer from [http://www.wine-doors.org/trac/ticket/723 a bug that has been closed just recently] (as of June 2008). The following public domain Bash script can be helpful to install both browsers:
