How to install IE8 on ubuntu

HEY all,
now for IE "internet explorer" lovers --that i am not one of them!!-- here is a way to install IE* on ubuntu...


to use IE8 on ubuntu first you need Wine to run windows apps on ubuntu 
then you need to install winetricks by terminal
Applications>>Accessories>Terminal

copy and past the following:

wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks 

after finishing
go to:
Applications>>Wine>>Winetricks

at the first windows when ask you what do you want to do :
select "select the default wineprefix"
then select "install Windows DDL or component"
the scroll down abit and select "ie8"
select it and click install

if you got this error:

sha1sum mismatch! Rename /home/memo/.cache/winetricks/ie8/somefile.xx and try again.

rename the file if it didn't work you may update winetricks "reinstall it" or the file you are trying to download has moved somewhere (especially microsoft).

that's it!
