Re: [WSG] running ie7 on my mac??
I just ordered a new iMac I asked them to include Win XP OEM for £77 and Parallels Desktop for £33. Of course this OEM price is only for when you buy the computer... An iMac WITH a fully functioning, 100% legal Windows XP for ONLY an additional £110 (AND you can run multiple instances of IE - I have one with 5.5, one with 6, one with 7, another with office 97, all with antispam/spybot software.) Seems like no contest to me...

Re: [WSG] running ie7 on my mac??
Personally I reccommend paralells or vmware fusion, my setup. Virtual PC does not work worth a damn after os 9. I bought an OEM copy of XP when I bought the Mac, less than £100. Not sure what currency you use. and parallels was cheap. you can use bootcamp if you like but I prefer within os x. Bootcamp exposes too much of the insecure OS to the world whereas a virtual image running within oSX still has some degree of sand-boxing if you set it up right. I installed an image of XP SP2 and do not use it. I then copied it as another instance, loaded AV, spyware and firewall software, all free and dependable enough, and then use that to tst IE6. I then copied that and install IE7. I can then run both instances, simultaneously (get plenty of RAM!) and test both main browsers at once. If something goes wrong with one of the instances I wipe it, copy the first root instance of XP and start fresh with a virgin instance... Not bad for less than £150 and a days work setting up and locking it down!

I use Parallels and I love it - you can run Windows as just another application on your desktop, and switching from one OS to the other is as simple as moving the mouse into the Windows window. There is also ies4osx [1] but I was never able to get it to work properly.
