How can you test IE versions on Mac OS X?

summary.md

Follow this guide. It'll set up three VMs for you, one with each version respectively.

I then follow the additional steps, to save time:

1. Load up each clean profile and pass through the boring Windows setup/driver finding.
2. Open up Internet Explorer to a non-intensive page (Hacker News works)
3. Create a snapshot "Running" and then close out of the window.

Then each time you want to run a version of IE, load "Running". When you're done, click "Power off the Machine" and click the checkbox to reload the snapshot "Running".

Accessing files/network: You'll need to specify your local IP address in order to access localhost on your default machine. Run ifconfig from the command line and find the address like 10.x.x.x, then use that. And you can easily access local files this way using Python's built-in fileserver python -m SimpleHTTPServer (which broadcasts on all IP addresses, not just 0.0.0.0).
