Not strictly true. Our QA team are using Windows 8 and they typically decided to fire up a VM using built in Hyper-V containing one of the above each :(

So we now have one extra IE7 and IE9...



No, Windows 8 has IE10 by default. They presumably have that VM to test IE9 and IE7 which are used on previous versions of Windows, but god knows why they put them on Windows 8.


Yes I know.

They put it on windows 8 because we have enterprise edition available to us at no additional cost and that ships with hyper-v at no cost.

VirtualBox is a royal POS and VMware is expensive so this means a significant cost saving.
