Another quick note… In order to test my web apps with Internet Explorer 6 (yeah, a lot of Wintel users still browse with it!), I always had to use my Windows 2000 virtual machine. I knew it was available via CrossOver, but didn’t want to buy it… It was available via Wine, but I didn’t have the time to figure out how it works.

Now I found ies4osx — which makes is so easy to install multiple Internet Explorer (Windows) versions in OS X via Darwine:

Must have for every web designer developing on OS X out there!
(… and man, I know, this is not brand new stuff — but I just found it and thought I should share with you!)

This is some news from the WWDC - prolly the most important for the web designers and the professional windows users:
Safari, Apple’s (former only Mac OS X) web browser, is available for Microsoft Windows XP and Vista!

It’s still a beta, but feature-complete… I immediatly restarted to Windows XP to give it a try - it works … okay…., fonts look smoother and more “anti-aliased” then with Firefox or IE7. Some sites don’t show text where it’s expected - hey, it’s a beta (see screenshots).
So in future, I don’t have to miss my favourite browser when I’m using windows (not a lot though)!

Oh, and: Of course the release of Sarafi 3 for Windows also means an update for Mac OS X Tiger!

I’ve put are some screenshots on Flickr… Some compare sites with IE7, one shows a youtube-video and… the successfull Acid2-Test in Safari !

And I’m very prod that the German Mac-online-magazine “MacNews” featured my screenshots

(3 pictures of the 6 available on Flickr)
