Have you considered Wine?

[Ira Krakow]

Dan,

Have you thought of Wine to get over the IE/Outlook
problem?  You can run both, although you might have to
check out which version of IE and Outlook they run. 
The Wine site is at:

http://www.winehq.org

There's a commercial version of Wine, called Crossover
Office, at:

http://www.codeweavers.com

Codeweavers maintains the Winehq site and contributes
to Wine development.  With Crossover Office, you get a
preconfigured environment.  I run IE5.5 and Office
2000 in it with no problems.

Hope this helps.
