Fwd: write it in Windows, deploy it to *nix?

I had done some investigating of Mainsoft. They have Windows binaries
that can be installed under Unix and Linux that will enable Windows
applications to run under Unix and Linux. I understand that this was
done to make IE run under Unix, AIX, HP-UX, and Solaris. I do not
know if they made IE work for Linux. I think we would have heard
about it.

HERE IS THE RUB: Licenses for M$ Windows are required to make
it work.
