yes.  for linux/intel there's iBCS.  it's a kernel module that will
allow you to run sco, unixware, and solaris binaries.  worked well for
me - i used it to run the sco version of cscope for years.

for linux/sparc there's something similar, but dunno what.  people used
to use it to run netscape for sunos or solaris, and i seem to remember
reading that someone used it to run internet explorer.

actually since internet explorer is part of the os, hasn't microsoft
violated the gpl...
