I despise having to test websites and web applications in IE, but it is a necessity at times. I found a great way to do this in Linux and OS X using the IEVMS project. This project leverages the fact that Microsoft provides VirtualPC virtual machines for web testing. The install process downloads the Microsoft virtual machines and then converts them to VirtualBox compatible virtual machines. There are some very basic requirements for the install process, including VirtualBox, curl, unbar (Linux only) and patience.
