If you need to use IE for testing a webpage, you don't have to install Windows just for that ;)

PlayOnLinux is a really cool program, that acts as a frontend for Wine. You just browse the application list of PlayOnLinux, choose the IE version you need, and it installs everything automatically!

1. It gets the Wine version most compatible with the application you want to use. 2. It sets up all the registry hacks that are needed in order to make a not well supported application work. 3. In case of IE PlayOnLinux downloads the correct IE version during installation process.

I dare saying, it's easier to install IE on PlayOnLinux than on Windows itself, where (in case of an older IE version) you will have to search the Internet yourself for an installer.

Of course, if you need Windows for games, thats another story. But, PlayOnLinux is quite helpful in that regard as well!
