They don't behave as they would if running as a standalone browser on a typical Windows system doing it that way. That's the point of this thread.
People have found that installing multiple versions of IE on Windows is possible only through a nasty hack that doesn't actually allow you accurately test the behaviour of your site in those browsers, i.e. doing it that way simply stirs up the already muddy waters. Moreover, unlike the other browsers on the market (with the exception of Safari), using IE requires you to buy a particular operating system (that I would never buy/use otherwise) to use them.
