[Novalug] can you make linux work with websites that insist on Windows and IE? if so, how?

[Frank Hale]

The thing to remember is the contractors that maintain/code the
websites do not have any control over the platform or web browser they
target, at least that is true for the gov't organizations I've been
apart of. The decision on OS / language / framework / browser was made
15 layers (exaggeration) above the contractors that actually do the
hard work.
