Don't forget Wine, Qemu, etc. are pieces of software themselves,
written by great programmers and hackers for Linux and FreeBSD.
They weren't discouraged from anything: They do contribute
to the open source community.

As a result the existence of these programs discourages interest in
native
FreeBSD programs, and encourages people not to wholeheartedly switch
over to FreeBSD. It also gives an excuse to software developers not to
bother
writing software for open source development since "they can always run
it on wine"

Subject: IE in FreeBSD?
Hello, all
Does anybody successfully run Internet Explorer under Wine in
FreeBSD? What
should I do to get it run? Any suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks.

It's possible under wine, but very difficult to configure and
install. Search google for Wine IE, or the gentoo linux forums
(forums.gentoo.org) for IE.
