Test IE on OS X or Linux

[Sean Copenhaver]

So looks like Microsoft released some free Virtual PC files for a couple of versions of Windows with different versions of IE on them so you can test multiple without needing multiple keys.

Thankfully someone has also gone through the trouble to write a BASH script that will d/l one or more and setup the VirtualBox image. I haven't testing the VM yet, but it did d/l, initialize, and I could boot it in VirtualBox.

Anyway, this is pretty sweet.

Here's the Microsoft link:

Basically you can't activate them but you can restore from the original snapshot to keep the trail going after the first 90 days is up. So not good for long term use, great for general web testing.
