Just a heads up for those of you who use this software. I've been waiting a LONG time for IE7 support, so I'm quite curious to see how this works. Just taking forever to download. :)

Enjoy!

UPDATE: Got it installed. Epic fail IMO. While IE7 installs, it looks like poop.

Not only that, but not all websites load with it, although I do give them credit for getting Flash 9 to install with it. Ugh, I was hoping for so much more. Oh well. VMWare you haven't let me down yet. :)

If you wouldn't mind enlightening the lazy and the retarded - What is Crossover?

Don't expect much out of Crossover, or any Wine build for that matter when it comes to IE7. IE7 barely works in Wine at its best, and they constantly have to work at it just to keep new Wine updates from breaking it.

Tweak: Crossover is a commercial distribution of Wine, a toolkit to help run Windows applications on Linux and Mac OS X.

Yea. IE6 worked well enough, but I guess IE7 is too complex to run in WINE. Oh well...
