I looked at the ie9 preview.<br>
You have to set the windows version to 7, but then it<br>
needs ie8 and &quot;directx 2d&quot; installed.<br>

I&#39;ve added a win7 verb to winetricks, and would accept an ie8 verb patch<br>
if someone sent it, but I suspect DirectX 2D might be a tough<br>
nut to crack.<br>
