Do you mean VMs for IE9, the final release whenever it goes live? I haven't heard anything otherwise, so I would assume, "yes". We're very serious about Compatibility, and making it simple for web developers to build websites, so I would honestly be really surprised if we stopped offering VMs. That said, the correct answer is, "I don't know".

Zaatar, I appreciate your visiting and giving us some info on things. Can you elaborate as to why the VMs are only for MS Virtual PC. A lot of us use VMWare and it is so painful and silly that we can't use it directly to test browsers. I know VMWare competes with MS in this fashion, but it's this kind of "our way or the highway" that irritates me.

Thanks - I've been wanting to test IE9 but the lack of XP compatibility prevented me from using it on the only VM OS I have.

I'd love images which work on VMware or VirtualBox (or are at least have a license allowing conversion) for Mac users
