We're sorry, but our 10s of 1000s of dollar software requires IE. WTF?!?!

QFE.

Nearly Worst-Case-Scenario: The vendor expects you to access the data from a single-use monolithic vertically integrated workstation with a frozen software configuration: hardware, OS, Apps, running on a dedicated VPN, with no internet access and NO updates except for approved critical security updates.

The not quite so bad news is that Win7 and Server 2008 R2 can allow you to do this with it running as a sandboxed VM in a single Terminal Server session using RDS. (woohoo, quadruple keyword/acronym bonus!)
