Are they trying to make IE obsolete? I know this is probably a move by the lawyers, and the browser-promotion folks probably don't even know about it yet, but seriously... If you want to promote your (free!) browser, you have to make life easy for developers.
They are trying to force people who develop websites for IE (which applies to 95%) to buy a copy of windows.

You can get evaluation copies of windows to run IE in for debugging free from Microsoft. My big complaint is that I don't want to run a VM for every browser. It appears as if the IE exe's made by Xenocode still work. I don't have a link for them, I'm not sure if they're hosted anywhere still.
