IE in FreeBSD?

[Dimitar Vasilev]

The standarts we are speaking are per company basis - e.g. West
European governments are slightly shifting to Linux as a desktop,
while others strictly mention what formats of resumes they accept on
their recruitment sites.
In most cases of big companies I have seen,   they say that prefer
HTML or plain text or PDF, unless stated otherwise or if you're sent
to fill in a MS Word application form.
MS Office files are good media for sending viruses, so they try to avoid them.
As Microsoft standarts are closed, do not expect IE to run natively on
other platforms besides Windows and MacOSX. Opera is a good
alternative and can fool sites that you're running IE.
