[K12OSN] Off topic browser issue

[Petre Scheie]

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.
