I wasn't sure if this was a HowTo, a Testimonial, or just chat, so I put it in chat. To be perfectly honest, I don't view many sites in IE (occasionally I'll do it just to see how my webpages look in another browser) because the User Agent Switcher Firefox extension pretty much takes care of any IE-only sites I encounter.

Just to see if I could do it, though, I installed the IEView extension in Firefox (the one where you can right-click on a page and select View this page in IE) and pointed it to my IE6 (using Wine and ies4linux). It works!

That's all. It's just fun to see what you can do.
