hmmm ... Emulate IE on an open source OS? Sounds like a contradiction in terms ... like Jumbo Shrimp or Military Intelligence.
You COULD try: writing a crappy browser that displays viral tendancies of installing itself along with any number of other programs / upgrades, and set's itself up as the default application for all file types it can see, whether it is appropriate or not, without asking you first. Be sure that it is a total resource hog, and crashes randomly and severely. (ideally, it should crash the OS too, and cause data loss in unrelated applications that may or may not be running at the moment.) more seriously ... you could try running IE in WINE or VMWARE (now THERE is a real test for a windows emulator) aloha, dave
