Crossover lets you run certain Windows Applications on your Mac.

One of the most frustrating issues Web designers have to deal with on the Mac is how to test their designs in Internet Explorer 6, which is still very popular and only available in Windows. One great and inexpensive solution is a program called Crossover, which allows you to run many Windows applications directly on your Mac desktop, without having to own or install Windows on your machine. Currently, it does not support Internet Explorer 7 or 8, which is a shame, but these two browsers have fewer inconsistencies than their predecessor.
