Aren't these Windows systems bundled into VM images get expired every month or 
so so you have to re-download huge images again and again? I used to download 
and run IE tests for custom MW scripts / skins about 1.5 years ago, it was 
really tiresome and slow.

They used to be (not sure if it was a month).  I don't know what the
current time period is.  It seems like modern.ie is trying to make the
process easier (e.g. native VirtualBox support), so I wouldn't be
surprised if they've made the activation a little easier.

There are other options though, like Sauce Labs, Browserstack, etc.
