You can get evaluation copies of windows to run IE in for debugging free from Microsoft. My big complaint is that I don't want to run a VM for every browser.

It appears as if the IE exe's made by Xenocode still work. I don't have a link for them, I'm not sure if they're hosted anywhere still.

I don't think so mate as they have offer an ISO image + XP for example for developers, but Spoon was so much easier!

Good point, but why are they doing it then?

'Winetricks' makes it pretty easy to install IE on linux, as well as a bunch of other handy windows programs.
