#2Thanks Microsoft. This was a great service and really helped cross browser testing for IE.

#4Are 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.

I don't think so mate as they have offer an ISO image + XP for example for developers, but Spoon was so much easier!

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.

Good point, but why are they doing it then?

#10What's really nice about web development (especially mobile) these days is we're quickly reaching a threshold where dropping all support for IE is becoming a very real possibility.
Anything Microsoft does to accelerate their own obsolescence should be encouraged.
