I've not actually looked into it, but I was under the impression that the
license agreement with IE expressely prohibits installing/using it under
any system that isn't listed in the license itself.  Installing IE this
way on Linux would potentially allow all sorts of applications to be used,
but it would be (I think) breaking the Ts & Cs and so could also
potentially land the school in hot water.

Not *entirely* certain about this though.
