Just ran across this little util, which I promptly installed:

I set that up and upgraded Parallels on my Mac so now I can launch Windows programs and just run them in OSX as if they were Mac programs. Very nice. Awesome for testing sites, at least.

I'm getting real annoyed about IE7 these days, anybody find their IE freezing time to time? Sometimes get the blue screen error as well. Grr.

Nice one Tim! Am stuck running IE7 in Vmware on Linux. Only up to IE6 will work using Wine (sounds very similair to Parallels).

Personally I'd prefer it if Microsoft would just stop trying to create Web Browsers, trying to force everyone onto that ghastly Windows platform. Smiling

I don't use it enough to notice any major problems except those that (I think) are caused by running it in standalone mode. I still can't stand that interface though.

By the way, I posted that download link 4 months ago Wink

Doh! Looks like I missed that the first time around, Megan. Well, better late than never, I suppose. Smiling
