I know i know, it sounds ridiculous, but hear me out. Im taking a cpt class, and it requires that you have IE to be able to even sign in to the website. I don't really wanna do the boot camp thing, even though i can get it done for free. Is IE on a MBP even possible?
Got a tip for us?

One option is to switch user agents in Safari, from the Develop menu:
Another is to try using IE for Mac, which is discontinued and may or may not work: http://internet-explorer.en.softonic.com/mac
Yes and No
Yes, it's possible to run it. I did it, but the version for Mac is VERY, VERY old.. It's like 1990's looking.. It's crazy.. See, Microsoft thinks they are to good to let windows IE on a Mac.. or anything other than Windows... Hmm... Is that why the Mac is growing 8x faster than any other computer in the market...? Lol, they are so dumb.

What did you run it on? None of the Macs you have posted as using will run it, since it doesn't run on Intel processors.
Like many of your posts, you display a lack of understanding the facts. IE 5 for Mac was the last version of Internet Explorer to be released on any non-Windows platform, not just the Mac. It is far more likely that their decision was affected by the expiration of their contract with Apple, the antitrust lawsuit brought against Microsoft and economic considerations, rather than them "thinking they're too good" to let IE run on a Mac. This is especially true, given that IE was the default browser for Mac OS for 5 years.
Mac sales have nothing to do with IE being available for the Mac. Please try to gather some facts before you post, so you don't embarrass yourself by your uninformed posts.
Seems like vaporware, but:

Works a bit like Skyfire does with Flash: pre-render then push.

They weren't doubting the fact that you can still run an older version of IE. They were referring to your obvious troll comment:
I don't even...
No
No, I was stating that you CAN RUN IE on a mac. It's, just like I SAID, a very old version. It says 1995-2001 con the copyright thing. And stop being to stuck up on MacRumors, your here just like me, because we have nothing better to do. IT'S MACRUMORS, calm down, your not the pope.

True...
True... I wasn't really thinking when i said they think there to good to run it on a Mac, but it doesn't make sense why it isn't for Mac... Anyone can make software for a computer... Why can't they? and contract? you certainly don't need a contract to make a web browser.

The contract was the reason they developed the browser to begin with. Educate yourself on software development and economics, that should answer your questions about why they "can't" make a newer version of IE for OSX. (hint: it doesn't make sense)
No, but it wouldn't make sense for microsoft to do that. They don't make any money from it, and it would just be one more product to support for a rival company. They do office for mac because they make a buttload of money off of it.
Why such snobs?
Just to let you know, the reason that I am now trolling, is because sooooooooooooo many people on here are just mean... They post smart mouth comments for no reason, even If I ask if there is anyway to fix my CD drive.. and the new-bes on here, people leave them nasty remarks for no reason. They do this just because they have big titles on here. IT'S MACRUMORS. Chill. Do they relise how dorky that is? I don't understand what it is with all these people on here.
