Even more telling, is Google Chrome is used as the browser in the demo video.

That's interesting. Since IE is not supported on Linux, that means Microsoft will have to support Chrome and perhaps Firefox on the Linux machines, and their engineers will have to use Chrome (if they are not using it already).

Well, you can't run IE on Ubuntu.

winetricks is the proper way to do this these days, ies4linux has been deprecated for quite some time.

It's not supported anymore. YMMV when trying to install it.
