Microsoft...grrr

I've had my MacBook for less than a month and I'm already on the Microsoft diatribe.

Can't a girl download IE for the Mac? Not that I want to actually use the browser but I would like to do some testing.

That's why you got an intel machine, Jana! You can run Parallels, which is how we do it at work! I made room by deleting Microsoft Office -- don't need it with iWork '08!

IE 5 for OSX is the only thing that has crashed my Mac.

You can fake IE on Safari... but it's not 100%... and thus useless for testing websites

So Parallels is the way to go.

I don't have a Macbook, so I TermServ to a Windoze box at work for my IE needs.

Thanks guys. I hadn't realized MS stopped building browsers for the mac. I'd planned on installing Parallel and now I know why.
