Use Internet Explorer in OS X -- Without Virtualization!

Being an avid web developer/enthusiast, I was excited to see this post on macapper.com. In my opinion, anything Windows can do, OS X can do better (except for gaming... cough cough). The only time I use Parallels is when I need to use Office 2007 (which will be coming out soon for OS X) or when I'm making a Windows application and need to use Visual Studio or when I'm developing web sites and need to test for browser compatibility. Well, I can finally scratch the last item off of my list thanks to macapper's article!

The process is quite simple and a tutorial is available at macapper.com. Take heed and be prepared to wait: the installation took me over 20 minutes on a T3 connection (wonder where the downloads are coming from?).
