"Microsoft provides virtual machine disk images to facilitate website testing in multiple versions of IE, regardless of the host operating system. Unfortunately, setting these virtual machines up without Microsoft's VirtualPC can be extremely difficult. These scripts aim to facilitate that process using VirtualBox on Linux or OS X. With a single command, you can have IE6, IE7, IE8 and IE9 running in separate virtual machines."

Of course I find this a day after I finish rebuilding all my VMs from scratch by hand.

Google Chrome Frame hijacks IE, and is now considered stable | ZDNet
"<meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”ie=edge,chrome=1″>

As a webmaster, you can use this simple meta tag that the new stable release of Google Chrome Frame can detect, and if present, will render the page using Google Chrome rather than Internet Explorer. This gives users the appearance of using IE, but the speed and standards compliance, and security of Chrome."

HTML5 enabling script
"Since HTML5 is getting more attention by way of marking up our new pages, and the only way to get IE to acknowledge the new elements, such as <article>, is to use the HTML5 shiv, I've quickly put together a mini script that enables all the new elements."

Google gradually dropping support for IE6.

MoD sticks with insecure browser | Kable
"According to parliamentary written answers received by Labour MP Tom Watson, the majority of departments still require staff to use IE6. Most have plans to upgrade to the more secure IE7, and some to IE8, but the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has no plans to change." Deary me. Hardly surprising. IE6 still unfortunately a player.
