Gerrit is known to not work in Internet Explorer.  As an open source
developer, my primary desktop system runs Linux.  My portable laptops
all run Mac OS X, because its shiny.  I have no system capable of
running Internet Explorer, nor do I desire to send dollars towards
Redmond in order to obtain an OS license in order to do so.

Something is busted in the IE AJAX code used by Gerrit Code Review.
I'm guessing that instead of making the data available to the AJAX
callback, IE wants to save it as a file on disk.  No clue why.
And due to the lack of IE, I am unable to debug the problem myself.
I am waiting for someone who really cares about using IE to debug
it and contribute the patch back.

I've found IEs4Linux helpful for debugging IE-only issues under Linux.

I don't recall, off hand, if it'll provide IE 7 (and the site isn't
working for me right now, so I can't confirm this).  It does provide
IE 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0, however.

You can get IE 7 if you go to the advanced option and choose it.  They say 
it is experimental.  I find it works well for when I have to test IE.  I 
only test IE 6 and IE 7 to make sure web pages work in them as well.
