VirtualBox
Posted in Linux, Web Design, ie, virtualbox by sandaruwan on January 11th, 2008One headache of web development is that there are tons of browsers which behave differently from each other. So, for a better quality we should always test sites in different browsers as much as possible. There is a well known fact : among all the browsers, most annoying browser is IE 6.0. But no matter how annoying there are still people who are using it. So, we should always test it in IE. There is a project to get IE running under wine, but I couldn’t get it working for some reason.
So, I tried VirtualBox which is obviously not as fast as wine, but more accurate. VirtualBox seems to show more performance than VMWare(No guarantees - I have only used VMWare once). It’s worth checking that out.
