Hello folks,

refining summary for better search engine hits.

Today, a user came into #winehq asking this:

--- quote ---
.net20 Framework requires the prequisite Internet Explorer 5.01 but is only
available for Windows. Is there a way to bypass this requirement?
--- quote ---

Pretty obvious to me but not to others hence the change.

Regards
