Ran across this tonight, great way to install IE 5,6,7 on your Intel Mac without the Bloated PC emulation software. Here are three links.

1. http://www.kronenberg.org/ies4osx/

2. http://www.kronenberg.org/darwine/

3. Tutorial Site on How to set this up http://macapper.com/2007/11/29/ies4osx-run-internet-explorer-567-natively-in-os-x/


Hope you found this useful.

This has been discussed before.

I tried it and found it very slow to render. Some portions of sites would not display at all. Sometimes the IE tool bar would not appear.

Sounds like a great idea but in the end I gave up and went with VMFW and XP: works great on my new Mac Pro.

my thoughts exactly...

Plus it isnt emulation, it is virtualization... but now we are just being picky

install hangs on Creating Wine Prefix
