The purpose of MS putting IE on Linux would be two fold. First, if they can get a title or two developed for Linux, it would greatly increase their chances with DOJ. I think that they would do this,despite the revolution that it would be, just for the DOJ brownie points.
Secondly, it gets M$ a start in Linux. As much as I despise M$ and their crappy software, they are anything but stupid. Since M$ will be unable to squash Linux like they would like, I guarantee you they will find a way to make money off of it. And I think very soon, that will be their official stategy.
