Any organisation running a website that still requires using Internet Explorer is run by morons. Such persons purporting to be IT experts should be escorted off the premises and gently restrained in a straight jacket and sent to a padded cell in an institution for the criminally insane. (They should then be forced to use Microsoft Bob in perpetuity.)
For those other disturbed persons who contrary to good advice wish to risk their sanity and worse security by running software even Microsoft no longer recommend there are free Virtual Machines purely for running Microsoft web-browsers. One of these could then potentially be run in VirtualBox.

Note: If your contract involves developing a website for use with Internet Explorer then arguably you are an accessory to a crime against humanity.

Thank you for addressing my question. I gather that the people who subscribe to this website do not like Internet Explorer and advise running, not walking away from it.
The organization that uses this is medium to small sized, but has a large footprint in the community it services--that is huge. Does someone have a less colorful, but slightly more objective, serious assessment that I could show to someone from the company on the off chance that they can be persuaded by evidence? I am convinced I don't what to put this on my machine, and am working around pretty well with Google Chrome, but these folks are proudly touting their exclusive targeting of Internet Explorer 10. Therefore, there is more to come. It might be good to stem that if possible. I am not a tech-type person and am limited in my argument here. Thanks
One question:
Why would you EVER want to do that?????
You have:
- Safari
- Firefox
- Chrome
- Opera
and more at your finger tips
Plus:
Internet Explorer is ONLY compatible with Windows Vista and 7
Hence the only way to do that is to have Windows installed on your Mac..like I have Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro through Parallels Desktop
Basically, it's pointless. The Windows version requires installation of Windows, or for some versions, usage of CrossOver Mac, and the Mac version is long out of date.

For long out of date, read "Is no longer getting security updates".
Virtual Box free, Windows 7 Home Premium System Builder SP1 $92.
IE9 is and can be secure and work just fine and I do prefer it to others, but Firefox lets me work in Apple Community easier is all.
Safari still bogs down trying to open multiple tabs, isn't multi-thread efficient, isn't memory efficient or well behaved - beyond the advandages of keeping code in memory it is still a memory hog. Open the same 20 tabs in any other browser is the best way I know. I also don't trust Google that much for security, I consider Google tracking and adsense to be a nuisance. Firefox gives some semblance, especially with add-ons, to tracking, cookies, privacy, and blocking content the best.

Oh, and MacBook Pro?
Or if you want to explore Safari:
I agree, even on windows I dont bother with it. I tend to use chrome, easier and faster.
Because I work for a living and need to use it to fulfill a contract.
and I do not want to change my default from safari. It is working fine for me in every way except one.
Internet Explorer is obsolete on all platforms and should not be used.
