IE users often do not know they have a slow browser. When they buy a new
computer, they attribute the speed up to the hardware or the OS.

As of May, IE 8 and 9 can use launchpad to do everything (many features
were broken by our novice efforts to use YUI3). They don't have a fast
experience, but they can at least use JS to manage bugs, subscriptions,
etc.. The only code we specifically have for IE is lp.get_url_path which
is needed to page through bug listing.

You can run it in a lucid container or ec2. I am reminded that I wanted
to restore the option to show a window so that developer can see and
debug what is happening in the test browser.
