[sf-lug] IEs4Linux

[Nathan Hoover]

FWIW you can do your return with TurboTax through their website, and it has
the advantage of saving the returns in the site so you have access to past
years' returns hassle free.

The default for IE when you install it is to take you to the Microsoft
website and ask if you'd like to set your home page, etc. to theirs and
prompt you to download and install Windows Update. So, you may have IE
successfully installed and just be at that "runonce.aspx"  page on
microsoft.com.

Regards,
Nathan
