Need to run mymathlab.com for my current math class. Of course... it gives me a very straight forward "install windows or go kill yourself"

ugh...ideas/suggestions before i go kill myself?

Yep I would be getting the MathXL installation Wizard page mself, so try WINE or Crossover and IE.

Side note, please for folks curious feel free to pay for Crossover as they employ several lead developers on WINE. Plus you get the very handy bottle functionality.

Gonna have to check on that sometime, not in a rush though myself.
