Running IE is the big reason for owning crossovers for me... and IE can just about run with the tweaks mentioned in the forum.. well enough to visually test a page and click a few buttons with out launching multiple windows vm's all the time .. unfortunately , prob because without the mentioned registry tweaks , IE8 does not work at all, the link to the CrossTie has been taken off the IE8 page.. it is however still available at the below url ( found by taking the url from a different CrossTie, then putting in the IE8 page app id )
hope this is helpful ! James
