How do I test my website in IE on a Mac? What options do I have? Only Virtual PC? (Which is rather expensive to simply test IE.)
Got a tip for us?

You can test with Mac Internet Explorer too, however it uses a different rendering agent to Windows IE so it displays pages differently. There are cheaper emulators available like iEmulator for $23.95 or Guest PC for $69.99
these aren't as quick as Virtual PC but for web testing that isn't an issue, you'll also need a copy of windows to install on these emulators, Windows 98 or Windows 2000 (best) are better than XP as it will run pretty damn slow.
You can also download Q for Mac OS X which is free but harder to use.
You will also need to "aquire" a copy of windows too though.

2. You have a cheap test system that can
Once you've got the main structure of a site in place, it's less urgent to test the content fill so perhaps borrow a PC for that phase.
