I almost feel as if I must use windows - since 95% of the surfers surf with IE.

I like to see what they see

With Crossover Plugin or Wine, you can run IE natively in Linux.

Alternatively you can run Windows within VMWare and have IE running natively under Windows.

Microsoft did fund research on a system called Xen, but, pulled the ability for people to run Windows under Xen, but, that used to be another way to run it in Windows natively on Linux/Unix.

I believe MacOS/X has VirtualPC which would allow it to run as well.

On my adult sites 15-20% use Firefox, on my non-adult sites thats down to 8%! I think most adult surfers are making the move cos of all the nasties that eat IE for breakfast on some of the unscrupulous porn sites. Think now IE and FireFox are the two important browsers for us and beware... they treat tables differently!

And thats kinda like saying most of the people in the world speak chinese so I had better make all my sites Mandarin Pagecode friendly and add Chinese Subtitles.......

My stats show 96% of my surfers use Windows. I may not like it but I have lots of software for it and that's what my customers use.
