IE really messes up the standards. By making IE work on all machines, you'll just encourage people to make IE only sites. We should really be looking at porting these applications to work on standards compliant browsers.

What ever IE do achievable in Mozilla. See pojects at http://www.iol.ie/~locka/mozilla/mozilla.htm
1. Mozilla ActiveX Control Embed the Mozilla browser engine (Gecko) into any ActiveX application. This control implements the same APIs as the Internet Explorer control making porting of existing applications reasonably straightforward.
2. ActiveX Control For Plug-ins Embed plug-ins in any ActiveX application. This control can host most Netscape Plug-in API (LiveConnect) plug-ins, allowing them to use them in your existing ActiveX applications, including Internet Explorer.
3. Plug-in For ActiveX controls Embed ActiveX controls in any NP API application. This plug-in hosts ActiveX controls allowing them to be used in browser such as Netscape 4.x/6.x, Mozilla and Opera.
