If that is important to you we have also made available all versions of IE in Virtual Machines at https://www.modern.ie

Does any or all older version of IE run in wine in linux? would that be better solution than download tons of 7gb VMs just to test IE?

Edit: never mind, found answer here http://askubuntu.com/questions/190425/how-to-install-interne...

what a nightmare!!! It is simpler to just detect IE user and ask them to switch to ff or chrome.

It used to be quite simple with IEs4Linux[1], but it only supports IE 5, 5.5, 6 and sort of 7. Not as useful nowadays.

And, if you frequently use IE virtual machines, you can use the ievms[1] script to manage the downloads, expiration times, etc. Saves a ton of bandwidth and disk space over the modern.ie downloads, too (it uses the modern.ie images as base installs).
