[K12OSN] Off topic browser issue

I also have IE running on my terminal server via Crossover Office, but I find it
to be lacking: Favorites don't seem to save, passwords aren't saved. OTOH, if
those aren't important to your one application, it may be the way to go. I
don't use it much, especially since Mozilla got NTLM authentication in 1.6,
which I need for dealing with my company's intranet. However, that does break
on some javascript that they use on the intranet, but I blame that on the
webmasters not writing valid script rather than as a shortcoming of the browser.
But in those cases, I switch to IE on Crossover.
