What? I thought IE-only websites are also accessible through the Linux version of Opera...

This is fake news?

no, its real. you have to use IE under wine if you want to use it. opera is a pretty strict standards-compliant browser.

Yup...here's the other thread (http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=63215)...though I don't think the original poster's link is there.

I really don't mean any offence by this but I really don't think the U.S needs extra money.

AFAICT, it works in Firefox if you use the User Agent Switcher extension to masquerade as IE6/XP. But I haven't gone all the way through the forms, since I'm not a legitimate claimant.

There's a lot of discussion of this over on Slashdot.
