It won't work properly, you will need to run virtualbox in seamless mode to get the accurate usage. This will involve installing a valid windows license and running Windows INSIDE Ubuntu (huge bloat)

Which version of IE: 6 or later ?
Wine supports IE6, but has issues with IE7 and IE8.
For IE7 and IE8, you can use a virtual machine, like virtual box. It will block 256MB of RAM to running, which can be a problem if you have a 512MB computer.
