Why do you want Internet Explorer? 

To quote Luke Skywalker: "What a piece of junk", which is why they
stopped making a Mac version.

Reportedly the Windoze versions of Internet Explorer is going to be
killed off anyway and will be replaced by a new Microsloth web browser
... probably just as much of a digusting mess and ignore the
established standards to do things its own way.  :-\


I haven't checked recent releases, but some Mac web browsers do have
the option to pretend they are Windoze Internet Explorer. How
successful that is depends on what you trying to do and the website(s)
you visiting - if they insist on stupidities like .NET or some Internet
Explorer-only non-standard idiocy, then no amount of pretending will
help.

WINE is utter garbage and a complete waste of time. Even most of the
applications they claim work, don't actually work properly or fully.

Bootcamp requires rebooting to change which operating system you're
using (Mac OS X, Windoze, Linux, etc.).

VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop will allow your to have a virtual
Windoze PC running alongside Mac applications (and transfer files,
copy-paste, etc. between the two operating systems).

There is VirtualBox and a couple of others, which are shareware /
freeware options similar to Fusion and Desktop, but they are less
professional and more difficult to set-up.

All of these need a legal version of Windoze to be installed (as well
as legal versions of any Windoze applications you want to use).
