Other - Ie 7
is there a way to Run Internet Explorer 7 on a Macbook pro with out going through bootcamp and installing windows.

to be honest I don't want windows on my computer at all.

There is a website I need to access and unless I have IE 7 I cant use all the functions.

Thanks in Advance

It can be possible to run IE7 through Wine: MacOSX - The Official Wine Wiki I havent researched it fully though...

Else you could install vmware, or parallels. This way you can have windows installed without having to use bootcamp and reboot your computer.

If you are going to virtualize, then yes, you will need a copy of Windows.

What is this website? Most websites will work outside of IE unless they use ActiveX.

If you are determined not to install Windows then Darwine (a port of the Wine project) may help
