IE for Mac

First off, why would you want to ? Well, your probably a developer trying to fix some bug someone’s having on IE for mac right? Otherwise, Mac users wouldn’t generally search google for a way to put Windows software on a Mac, that’s just silly. You purchased the Mac to get away from that right?

Let me save you some trouble, don’t do it. As you’ve probably already found out Microsoft does not even support IE for Mac and they haven’t in years.
http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/internetexplorer/internetexplorer.aspx?pid=internetexplorer . Good ol Microsoft lifecycle policies, gotta love it.

So the best thing you can do is advise your client that Microsoft no longer supports development on IE for Mac and for their safety, to avoid vulnerabilities it would be in their best interest to use a browser that comes with Mac and to also update it to the latest version.

If that option runs dry, don’t ruin your Mac, try this instead. There’s a fine gentleman who’s created a nice install to help you get previous versions of IE installed and running with your current IE7 install (* Don’t try to “uninstall” IE7) http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE. Thank you Yousif! Install that and test your app/site in these untill you duplicate the error, one of them’s gotta be close tot he mac version right ?

Good luck.

p.s. Can’t you just wait till Mac has better support for gaming, then we won’t need Windows anymore !
