What, no support for Linux? I'm only half-joking, I really wish that I could test IE compatibility without having to find a Windows box. (This wouldn't help me test IE<9 though.)

Yes, I know about http://browsershots.org, but that doesn't help with check interactive javascript.

What about using http://www.virtualbox.org/ to run windows in a VM?

Even if you could run IE on Linux, it's probably best to test on the same OS that most IE users will be using.

We use an old IBM laptop - with IE, FF, Chrome installed - for our Windows testing.

Failing that, a VM is probably the best alternative.
