Why not use IEtester and run all versions of IE on a vista/w7 free vmware player install?

W7 trial iso will work without a key, it will just shutdown every 30 minutes which is fine for testing purposes.

IEtester also has debugbar which sometimes is even better than some firefox tools I use.




As far as I'm concerned, IE Tester doesn't have an exact copy of IE's code, hence not 100% reliable.


+1 IETester better than nothing and a decent fallback, but running the actual IE's better than IETEster.


I've found IEtester to be really keen to cache code, to the point of having to clear cache's in settings sometimes - clearly not great for development.
