Or run Windows in something like bochs or qemu. You can install Windows inside 
the VM as long as you have the valid licence and fire up IE from in there - a 
lot safer for you too, as IE is running safely that way and any problem can 
only affect the VM Windows install - which is easy to reinstall anyway.
