Macos – How to test Internet Explorer 9 on a Mac OSX Machine

internet explorerinternet-explorer-9macos

It's possible to test IE6-8 on Mac OSX via free virtual machines that microsoft offers and then running them in something like VMWare Fusion. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef&displaylang=en

However, the IE9 image does not seem to be out yet. Does anyone know anyways which we can test it on a Mac OSX machine?

Not surprised the free virtual machine isn't out yet for 9... it's been about 24 hours since release.

Are these free VPC images somehow locked down to not let you install anything else? If not, take one and install 9 on it.

With regards to Fusion, you'd obviously have to run these VPC images thru a converter and then it's not guaranteed to work (from text found at the link).
