Is there a program or a way to adjust any of these popular web browsers
to emulate Internet Explorer?
There are times I need to access these sites for WORK and hate to switch
over to the WRONG side of my laptop's partition.

You can run IE in Linux with wine:

Or you can run the whole windows in Linux with VMware.
I've made instructions to put it in openSUSE:

There's also VirtualBox, included in openSUSE which does the same thing.
I've been happy with VMware, so I've got no experience with the latter.

I'd reckon just for the browser, use Wine :)

But that requires that they purchase Winders.

This was a company in question who requires windows IE?
They don't want Linux?
So they phey pay?


And none of those virtual
machines will work with many modern computers because the manufacturers do
not provide Windows disks anymore.

None will work? Where did you get that from?

And sure windowses can be bought.

A great many of them have a restoration
partition that wipes out the harddrive and restores the computer to its
pristine, just bought condition. Even if the VM is free, it is going to
cause an outlay of cash for the Winders disks.

Virtual machine gives a disk image to the guest OS who takes it as a disk.
It also provides it with the rest of the virtual hardware.
The guest won't touch the rest of the disk. It does not even know there's life
outside this virtual machine.
