Mac Testing in IE |

I just switched from PC to Mac. I was wondering if there is a free tool where I can test my web pages in IE 6 and IE 7 without going through bootcamp.

Hi, You may find Browser Shots useful. It uses a distributed network of computers to test your website in multiple browser/OS combinations. Or perhaps VMWare?

The best option is use VMWare Fusion. It executes other operative systems in a window. You should have 2 virtual machines, both with Windows installed, one with IE6 and another with IE7. There is also Parallels for Mac though I've never used it. It's not free but it's worth getting it...

My only concern with your suggestion is that it seems a waste to have both IE6 and IE7 installed on seperate virtual machines. Google can prove some very interesting results...
