Microsoft simplifies IE testing with modern.ie

In the past, this may have involved some legally questionable installations of Windows XP to test in IE6, but thankfully those days are at an end with Microsoft’s modern.ie site. By heading over to the site’s virtualisation tools page, devs are able to download virtual machines that run IE6 through to IE10 across a combination of Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8.

Windows images for Linux users — for real.

The best part of this site is that it is not limited to Windows only users; Mac and Linux users are able to grab VM images for their platforms, too.
