No, William has said he doesn't want. So you'll probably have to use another
browser (eg: IE). Maybe it will make MS port IE to Linux, after all they had
a Solaris version 15 years ago and even an OSX one I believe :-) People pick
what works best for them, very few have a religion in this area. That's what
made the success of Firefox and Chrome.
