All of the functionality of IE?  Do you want the worms and adware and spyware 
with it? :D
All joking aside, the closest I have come to that is Konqueror, but me, I 
don't want the same stuff, so I prefer firefox, which is the default IE 
replacement for Windows (or so it seems).
However, I use slackware-current, so usually I use Konqueror.  I put FireFox 
on Windows machines.  Just an opinion.
