The Pixel keyboard feels the same way and when my wife saw that the keys were backlit, that was a big plus for her. \r\n\r\nThe trackpad is responsive and attaching an external mouse was easy. I enabled bluetooth and it discovered my Microsoft bluetooth mouse. The mouse settings didn''t seem as granular so I couldn''t really dial-up the mouse speed as much as I liked but it was passable.\r\n\r\nOne thing to note is that the audio plug is a little tight. When I plugged in my headphones, I initially thought that the jack was broken because the headphone plug just kind of dangled inside loosely and wouldn''t output my audio. After some online searching, I found I just needed to push it in just a little harder because the laptops jack is a little tight. \r\n\r\nThe nicest aspect of this device, by far, is the screen. I mean <strong>OH MY GOD</strong> what a gorgeous display. It''s one of those that makes you realize how nice things could look and how you wish all your devices looked this nice. I have to believe this is the reason the Pixel is so pricey.\r\n\r\nAnd on top of that, it''s touch-based which in my opinion puts a nail in the coffin to all those silly "gorilla arm" comments.\r\n\r\n<h2>ChromeOS</h2>\r\n\r\nThis is my first foray into ChromeOS. I''ve tried it out sparingly in the past at Best Buy but that''s about it. I think it''s an okay experience for someone who solely wants to surf the web or do some basic documents using Google Apps. At this point, power users may feel that this device is anemic for their needs and I''d have to agree. Being a developer, there''s a host of tools that I need local access to that ChromeOS just can''t handle. With that said, it seems like more than a suitable device for a consumer to have on their kitchen counter for general browsing, especially if it''s a user that takes full advantage of Google''s ecosystem. I spoke with Joe Marini of Google and he feels that Chrome Packaged Apps will be a big plus to ChromeOS bringing feature-rich native-style apps. \r\n\r\nThe tie-in to Google Drive is certainly nice (along with the 3-years of 1TB cloud space) but I think it takes some getting used. For me, I still like having access to local documents, especially since I travel frequently. It''s the whole "living in the cloud" thing and Microsoft and Apple are heading down that route as well so it''s not a stretch to imagine everything just living on the Internet. For me, though, some old habits die hard. Yes, I know I can do some things offline and the Pixel comes with some (limited) disk storage but the expectation is clear that you will use this device while connected to the Internet. Hence why they offer a Verizon LTE option in this device. That way, you can connect whether WiFi is available or not. \r\n\r\n<h2>Price</h2>\r\n\r\nThe Pixel comes in two flavors: 32GB w/Wi-Fi ($1,299) & 64GB w/Wi-Fi & LTE ($1,449). While the device is gorgeous, I can''t picture myself (or most anyone else) dropping that amount of money of it especially when there are feature-packed touch devices like the <a href="http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/Samsung-Series-7-Ultra.htm">Samsung Series 7</a> & <a href="http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/ebtext.to?page=kirabook">Toshiba Kirabooks</a> and Apple''s great lineup of MacBooks for similar pricing. <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/26/not-quite-pixel-perfect/">And I''m not alone in this opinion</a>. This feels like a nice reference device for Google. A kind of "look at what we can do when we want to build something really nice" type of thing. And I think Google did a good job at this. I just don''t think they''re going to sell a lot of them; at least not at those price points.\r\n\r\n<h2>Conclusion</h2>\r\n\r\nGreat, gorgeous hardware. Love the high-dpi touchscreen. Fast startup is awesome. Would I buy one? No way, not at this price point.

This is my own personal review of the Chrome Pixel and is not associated with my employer in any way.\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nI recently got a Google Pixel Chromebook at Google I/O 2013. All attendees were given this device as part of their registration and I wanted to share some observations after having it for a little while.\r\n\r\n<h2>Packaging</h2>\r\n\r\nOne thing I love about Apple is that they''ve forced OEMs to rethink their packaging and make it a key visual and emotional aspect of their devices. Google did a nice job of boxing up the Pixel so that it feels like a luxury device. =I took pictures of my unboxing and posted them below. If you''ve ever opened an Apple MacBook, it kind of seems similar.\r\n\r\n<h2>Hardware</h2>\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pixel.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/pixel-150x150.png" alt="Google Pixel" width="300" height="300" class="alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-2135" style="float:right; margin-left:10px;" /></a>Having used both PCs and MacBooks, I think I have a fairly well-balanced expectation of how devices should respond. I''m very pleased with the hardware for the Pixel. It "feels" solid with no cheap feeling areas that were immediately visible. \r\n\r\nYou can tell that Google took a lot of cues from Apple when they built this device. I love the MacBook keyboards because they''re light on the fingers and backlit. The Pixel keyboard feels the same way and when my wife saw that the keys were backlit, that was a big plus for her. \r\n\r\nThe trackpad is responsive and attaching an external mouse was easy. I enabled bluetooth and it discovered my Microsoft bluetooth mouse. The mouse settings didn''t seem as granular so I couldn''t really dial-up the mouse speed as much as I liked but it was passable.\r\n\r\nOne thing to note is that the audio plug is a little tight. When I plugged in my headphones, I initially thought that the jack was broken because the headphone plug just kind of dangled inside loosely and wouldn''t output my audio. After some online searching, I found I just needed to push it in just a little harder because the laptops jack is a little tight. \r\n\r\nThe nicest aspect of this device, by far, is the screen. I mean <strong>OH MY GOD</strong> what a gorgeous display. It''s one of those that makes you realize how nice things could look and how you wish all your devices looked this nice. I have to believe this is the reason the Pixel is so pricey.\r\n\r\nAnd on top of that, it''s touch-based which in my opinion puts a nail in the coffin to all those silly "gorilla arm" comments.\r\n\r\n<h2>ChromeOS</h2>\r\n\r\nThis is my first foray into ChromeOS. I''ve tried it out sparingly in the past at Best Buy but that''s about it. I think it''s an okay experience for someone who solely wants to surf the web or do some basic documents using Google Apps. At this point, power users may feel that this device is anemic for their needs and I''d have to agree. Being a developer, there''s a host of tools that I need local access to that ChromeOS just can''t handle. With that said, it seems like more than a suitable device for a consumer to have on their kitchen counter for general browsing, especially if it''s a user that takes full advantage of Google''s ecosystem. I spoke with Joe Marini of Google and he feels that Chrome Packaged Apps will be a big plus to ChromeOS bringing feature-rich native-style apps. \r\n\r\nThe tie-in to Google Drive is certainly nice (along with the 3-years of 1TB cloud space) but I think it takes some getting used. For me, I still like having access to local documents, especially since I travel frequently. It''s the whole "living in the cloud" thing and Microsoft and Apple are heading down that route as well so it''s not a stretch to imagine everything just living on the Internet. For me, though, some old habits die hard. Yes, I know I can do some things offline and the Pixel comes with some (limited) disk storage but the expectation is clear that you will use this device while connected to the Internet. Hence why they offer a Verizon LTE option in this device. That way, you can connect whether WiFi is available or not. \r\n\r\n<h2>Price</h2>\r\n\r\nThe Pixel comes in two flavors: 32GB w/Wi-Fi ($1,299) & 64GB w/Wi-Fi & LTE ($1,449). While the device is gorgeous, I can''t picture myself (or most anyone else) dropping that amount of money of it especially when there are feature-packed touch devices like the <a href="http://www.mobiletechreview.com/notebooks/Samsung-Series-7-Ultra.htm">Samsung Series 7</a> & <a href="http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/ebtext.to?page=kirabook">Toshiba Kirabooks</a> and Apple''s great lineup of MacBooks for similar pricing. <a href="http://techcrunch.com/2013/02/26/not-quite-pixel-perfect/">And I''m not alone in this opinion</a>.

I''m not going to go into every aspect of the site as I really want to focus on the VMs for this post. But if you want the details you can check out these great blog posts:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2013/02/01/modern-ie-a-new-set-of-tools-to-help-test-web-site-compatibility.aspx">modern.IE – A new set of tools to help test web site compatibility</a>\r\n<a href="http://blogs.windows.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2013/01/31/introducing-modern-ie-testing-sites-for-internet-explorer-made-easier.aspx">Introducing modern.IE – Testing sites for Internet Explorer made easier</a>\r\n\r\n<h2>The New Way to get IE VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nUp until now, if you wanted to test different versions of IE natively you had to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11575">download VPC images</a> that would allow you to run virtual machines for the different versions of IE. It wasn''t a great solution because:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>They were designed to be run in Microsoft''s Virtual PC software making it hard for non-Windows developers to use them.</li>\r\n	<li>They were broken apart into multiple, large download files</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThere were ways to use them on other OSes but <a href="http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/11405634980/how-to-run-microsofts-ie-vpc-images-in-virtualbox">it required some work</a> or <a href="https://github.com/xdissent/ievms">unofficial scripts to convert them</a>. Either way, the IE VPCs weren''t very easy or convenient to use.\r\n\r\nWe wanted to make this easier so as part of the modern.IE project, we <a href="http://www.modern.ie/virtualization-tools">created a new set of VMs</a> that targeted your OS and your VM-specific software. Now, you''ll be able to choose your OS:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vm-os.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vm-os-300x178.png" alt="vm-os" width="300" height="178" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1963" /></a>\r\n\r\nthen choose the VM software:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vm-soft.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vm-soft-300x179.png" alt="vm-soft" width="300" height="179" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1964" /></a>\r\n\r\nand download the VM with the version(s) of IE you''d like to install:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vm-vms.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vm-vms-300x120.png" alt="vm-vms" width="300" height="120" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1965" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe great thing about this process is that:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You only have to download a single file per VM</li>\r\n	<li>You can use the VM software of your choice</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nCurrently, we''re offering VMs that will run on:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX</li>\r\n	<li>Linux</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe VM software choices are specific to the OS you choose:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows - Hyper-V, Virtual PC, VirtualBox & VMWare Player</li>\r\n	<li>OSX- VirtualBox & VMWare Fusion</li>\r\n	<li>Linux - VirtualBox</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe IE versions being offered are:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>IE7 on Vista</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE9 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 8</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nWe initially launched with an IE6 image but discovered an issue and had to pull it down. We''ll be putting it back up shortly. We''ll also be supporting Parallels as well and that will be available soon.\r\n\r\n<h2>Time Limits on the VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nAll of the VMs have a time limit before the images will become either limited or unusable. Here''s what they are:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>IE7 - IE10: 90 days of total time from the moment you first use the VM. Basically it''s 30 days usage with two 30-day rearms.<ul><li>To rearm, go into a command prompt and type in "<strong>slmgr –rearm</strong>"</li></ul>\r\n<li>IE6 on WinXP: Will expire 90 days from the time <strong>we upload it to modern.IE</strong>. There''s no rearm it but we''ll keep this refreshed when the 90 day kill date nears.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nAt the end of the 90 days, here''s what will happen:\r\n<ul><li>IE7 - IE10: You''ll be able to use the VM for an hour before it shuts down</li>\r\n<li>IE6/WinXP: You''ll be prompted for an activation key with no way to get past it</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\n<h2>Functional Limitations</h2>\r\n\r\nI''ve been told that these images aren''t crippled and in my testing, I was able to apply updates and do installs with no issues. I would <strong>HIGHLY RECOMMEND</strong> that you run Windows updates when you use these VMs to get the latest updates and patches. Also, install an anti-virus software. <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/security-essentials-download">Microsoft Security Essentials</a> is free and will do the trick.\r\n\r\n<h2>Installing the VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nThe VMs may come with some minimum resource settings already preconfigured. Here''s what I recommend to ensure you get a decent performing VM:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Give your VM a minimum of 1GB of RAM</li>\r\n<li>Give it the most amount of video memory possible</li></ul>\r\n\r\nRemember that you''re VM is an OS and it needs resources. Unless you''re loading multiple VMs at the same time, a gig of RAM shouldn''t have a major adverse issue on a decent system. Also note that while IE9 & IE10 support GPU-enhanced rendering, don''t expect the same performance in your VM as you would get from a native system.\r\n\r\nThe VMs you download are in .zip format. Once you''ve got them on your computer, you should unzip them for use. Note that I''ve seen a quirk with OSX where the default unzip utility actually tries to create another .zip file instead of unzipping it. I used The Unarchiver app from the OSX App Store and that worked like a charm.\r\n\r\nSince I''m on Windows, I think showing how to install it on another OS would be valuable. The VM software I use on OSX is VMWare Fusion so here are the steps I went through to setup the Win8/IE10 VM:\r\n\r\nClick on the "Add" drop down to create a new VM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-300x215.png" alt="vmware" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1976" /></a>\r\n\r\nChoose "Continue without disc":\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-new.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-new-300x228.png" alt="vmware-new" width="300" height="228" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1977" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis should present you with a screen to "Use an existing virtual disk" which is exactly what you want to do:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-choosevm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-choosevm-300x259.png" alt="vmware-choosevm" width="300" height="259" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1978" /></a>\r\n\r\nI chose the "Select to create a copy of it" so that my original download isn''t affected and it makes a copy in the default VMWare VM directory. When you select the image, it will display a prompt asking if you want to convert it to an updated format:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-dontconvert.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-dontconvert-300x103.png" alt="vmware-dontconvert" width="300" height="103" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1979" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Don''t convert it</strong>. I tried to and it seemed to corrupt the VM.\r\n\r\nSelect the proper version of Windows. These are 32 bit versions of the OS so the standard OS selections are fine (i.e.: not 64-bit). At the "Finish" screen, click "Customize Settings" to give the VM a better name like "Win8 - IE10" and from there, VMWare will beging the process of copying the disc to the default VM directory and present you with the new VM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmdone.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmdone-300x215.png" alt="vmware-vmdone" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1980" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore you start the new VM, change the RAM settings so your VM won''t have any trouble starting up. Again, I recommend a minimum of 1GB of RAM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmsettings.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmsettings-300x190.png" alt="vmware-vmsettings" width="300" height="190" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1981" /></a>\r\n\r\nYour VM should now be ready to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>REALLY IMPORTANT:</strong> If you''re using the Win8/IE10 VM, be sure to set your screen resolution in the VM to a minimum of 1366x768 if you want to be able to use Internet Explorer for Windows 8. Internet Explorer desktop can launch in smaller resolutions but IE10 for Win8 is a Windows 8 app and needs the higher resolution. You''ll also want this for testing snap mode.\r\n\r\n<h2>VirtualBox</h2>\r\n\r\nI don''t have VirtualBox installed at the moment so I''ll do an update to this post soon to show how to install it there. But if you''re savvy with the software, it should be as easy as the steps I described above.\r\n\r\nIn the interim, <a href="https://twitter.com/cdwharton">Chris Wharton</a> has written up a quick guide on <a href="http://chriswharton.me/2013/02/installing-modern-ie-virtualization-on-virtualbox-for-mac/">how to get the Virtualbox VMs running on OSX</a>.\r\n\r\n<h2>Unzipping the VM and Corrupt Images</h2>\r\n\r\nA number of people have mentioned that they''ve had trouble unzipping the images and that they may be corrupt. They''re not corrupt. There''s an issue in both OSX & Linux where using the OS''s default zip tool is failing to open the .zip file properly. We''re aware of this and are looking into it. The interim solution is to use a 3rd party unzip tool like "The Unarchiver" in the Apple app store or Peazip for Linux. These will correctly unzip the .zip files and give you working images.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n', 'Making Internet Explorer Testing Easier with new IE VMs', 0, '', 'inherit', 'open', 'open', '', '1958-revision-23', '', '', '2013-02-07 14:32:23', '2013-02-07 18:32:23', '', 1958, 'http://blog.reybango.com/2013/02/07/1958-revision-23/', 0, 'revision', '', 0);

Depending on which OS you''re using, you may see a combo of *.exe/*.rar files (Windows) or *.sfx/*.rar files (OSX/Linux). The *.exe & *.sfx are self-extractors which will look for all of the files and combine them into the single VM you''ll need. \r\n\r\nThe great thing about this process is that:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You can use the VM software of your choice</li>\r\n	<li>You only have to download the files once per VM. <strong>They can be reused to recreate the VM after 90 days</strong>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nCurrently, we''re offering VMs that will run on:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX</li>\r\n	<li>Linux</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe VM software choices are specific to the OS you choose:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows - Hyper-V, Virtual PC, VirtualBox & VMWare Player for Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX- VirtualBox, VMWare Fusion and Parallels</li>\r\n	<li>Linux - VirtualBox</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nOne thing to note is that it''s best to use an updated version of the VM software, especially for the Win8 VMs. Otherwise, you may encounter issues with the VM software not being able to run the virtualized OS properly.\r\n\r\nThe IE versions being offered are:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>IE6 on Windows XP</li>\r\n	<li>IE7 on Vista</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows XP</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE9 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 8</li>\r\n	<li>IE11 Developer Preview on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE11 Developer Preview on Windows 8.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nFor all intents you can now test against a full copy of any version of Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\n<h2>Extracting the Virtual Machine</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Windows</h3>\r\n\r\nNotice that for IE9 on Win7 for VirtualBox on Windows, I''ve downloaded 5 files. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-300x122.png" alt="extract" width="300" height="122" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2230" /></a>\r\n\r\nI need to run <em>"IE9.Win7.For.WindowsVirtualBox.part1.exe"</em> to kick off the extraction. This will prompt me for a destination folder to extract to:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-2.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-2-300x225.png" alt="extract-2" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2231" /></a>\r\n\r\nNote that once the extraction is completed, the dialog box just disappears and you won''t get a prompt that it''s done. Hop over to your directory and you should find the newly extracted VM file waiting for you:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm-300x112.png" alt="yourvm" width="300" height="112" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2232" /></a>\r\n\r\n<h3>OSX</h3>\r\n\r\nOSX users have it even easier because you can use cURL to pull down all the files in one swoop. Just look for the "Grab them all with cURL" link and click on it.

Here''s what I recommend to ensure you get a decent performing VM:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Give your VM a minimum of 1GB of RAM</li>\r\n<li>Give it the most amount of video memory possible</li></ul>\r\n\r\nRemember that you''re VM is an OS and it needs resources. Unless you''re loading multiple VMs at the same time, a gig of RAM shouldn''t have a major adverse issue on a decent system. Also note that while IE9 & IE10 support GPU-enhanced rendering, don''t expect the same performance in your VM as you would get from a native system.\r\n\r\nThe VMs you download are in compressed format. Once you''ve got them on your computer, you should run the extraction executable I referenced above to extract them for use. This will create the virtual machine file that you''ll import into your VM software. Again, you can find fully detailed installation instructions for the downloaded VMs <a href="https://modernievirt.blob.core.windows.net/vhd/virtualmachine_instructions_2013-06-27.pdf">in this PDF</a>.\r\n\r\n<h3>VirtualBox on Windows</h3>\r\n\r\nInstalling on VirtualBox is usually as easy as double-clicking the .ova file that you extracted. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm-300x112.png" alt="yourvm" width="300" height="112" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2232" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen you do this, you should get a VirtualBox dialog like this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vb-import.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vb-import-282x300.png" alt="vb-import" width="282" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2234" /></a>\r\n\r\nClick on the "Import" button and VirtualBox will do the rest. It''s really that simple.\r\n\r\n<h3>VMWare Fusion</h3>\r\n\r\nThe VM software I use on OSX is VMWare Fusion so here are the steps I went through to setup the Win8/IE10 VM.\r\n\r\nClick on the "Add" drop down to create a new VM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-300x215.png" alt="vmware" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1976" /></a>\r\n\r\nChoose "Continue without disc":\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-new.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-new-300x228.png" alt="vmware-new" width="300" height="228" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1977" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis should present you with a screen to "Use an existing virtual disk" which is exactly what you want to do:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-choosevm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-choosevm-300x259.png" alt="vmware-choosevm" width="300" height="259" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1978" /></a>\r\n\r\nI chose the "Select to create a copy of it" so that my original download isn''t affected and it makes a copy in the default VMWare VM directory. When you select the image, it will display a prompt asking if you want to convert it to an updated format:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-dontconvert.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-dontconvert-300x103.png" alt="vmware-dontconvert" width="300" height="103" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1979" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Don''t convert it</strong>. I tried to and it seemed to corrupt the VM.\r\n\r\nSelect the proper version of Windows. These are 32 bit versions of the OS so the standard OS selections are fine (i.e.: not 64-bit). At the "Finish" screen, click "Customize Settings" to give the VM a better name like "Win8 - IE10" and from there, VMWare will beging the process of copying the disc to the default VM directory and present you with the new VM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmdone.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmdone-300x215.png" alt="vmware-vmdone" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1980" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore you start the new VM, change the RAM settings so your VM won''t have any trouble starting up. Again, I recommend a minimum of 1GB of RAM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmsettings.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmsettings-300x190.png" alt="vmware-vmsettings" width="300" height="190" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1981" /></a>\r\n\r\nYour VM should now be ready to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>REALLY IMPORTANT:</strong> If you''re using a Win8.x-based VM, be sure to set your screen resolution in the VM to a minimum of 1366x768 if you want to be able to use Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer desktop can launch in smaller resolutions but IE10 for Win8 and IE11 Developer Preview for Win8.1 are a Windows apps and needs the higher resolution. You''ll also want this for testing snap mode.\r\n\r\n<h3>VirtualBox on OSX</h3>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://twitter.com/cdwharton">Chris Wharton</a> has written up a quick guide on <a href="http://chriswharton.me/2013/02/installing-modern-ie-virtualization-on-virtualbox-for-mac/">how to get the Virtualbox VMs running on OSX</a>. Just follow the steps I outlined for extracting your VM and then follow Chris'' steps for installing in VirtualBox.\r\n\r\n<h2>Time Limits on the VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nAll of the VMs have a time limit 90 days of total time from the moment you first use the VM. Basically it''s 30 days usage with two 30-day rearms. To rearm, go into a <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813(v=ws.10).aspx">command prompt with Administrator privileges</a> and type in "<strong>slmgr –rearm</strong>"\r\n\r\nAt the end of the 90 days, you''ll be able to use the VM for an hour before it shuts down. At this point, you''ll need to decide if that''s okay or if you''d like to recreate the VM and use it for another 90 days. <strong>Remember, you can reuse the same files you originally downloaded to recreate the VM so don''t delete them</strong> (unless you just love downloading big files).\r\n\r\n<h2>Functional Limitations</h2>\r\n\r\nI''ve been told that these images aren''t crippled and in my testing, I was able to apply updates and do installs with no issues. I would <strong>HIGHLY RECOMMEND</strong> that you run Windows updates when you use these VMs to get the latest updates and patches. Also, install an anti-virus software. <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/security-essentials-download">Microsoft Security Essentials</a> is free and will do the trick.

(2253, 3, '2013-07-25 11:58:24', '2013-07-25 15:58:24', 'When Microsoft first launched <a href="http://www.modern.ie">modern.IE</a> and revamped the way that IE VMs were offered, I wrote up a post that talked about how to install them. Since then, the site has changed so it''s time to update this post to reflect not only the new UI of the site but the new method of downloading individual VMs.\r\n\r\nIf you haven''t heard about modern.IE, then definitely read up on it here: \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blogs.windows.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2013/01/31/introducing-modern-ie-testing-sites-for-internet-explorer-made-easier.aspx">Introducing modern.IE – Testing sites for Internet Explorer made easier</a>\r\n\r\n<h2>The New Way to get IE VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nUp until now, if you wanted to test different versions of IE natively you had to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11575">download VPC images</a> that would allow you to run virtual machines for the different versions of IE. It wasn''t a great solution because:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>They were designed to be run in Microsoft''s Virtual PC software making it hard for non-Windows developers to use them.</li>\r\n	<li>They were broken apart into multiple, large download files</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThere were ways to use them on other OSes but <a href="http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/11405634980/how-to-run-microsofts-ie-vpc-images-in-virtualbox">it required some work</a> or <a href="https://github.com/xdissent/ievms">unofficial scripts to convert them</a>. Either way, the IE VPCs weren''t very easy or convenient to use.\r\n\r\nWe wanted to make this easier so as part of the modern.IE project, we <a href="http://www.modern.ie/virtualization-tools">created a new set of VMs</a> that targeted your OS and your VM-specific software. \r\n\r\nWhen you hit the page "Test across browsers" page, scroll down until you see this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vms.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vms-300x96.png" alt="vms" width="300" height="96" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2212" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis is the section that helps you to choose the right OS and platform. Now, you''ll be able to choose your OS:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-os.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-os-300x86.png" alt="vm-os" width="300" height="86" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2214" /></a>\r\n\r\nthen choose the VM software:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-platform.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-platform-300x86.png" alt="vm-platform" width="300" height="86" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2217" /></a>\r\n\r\nand download the VM with the version(s) of IE you''d like to install:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-options.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-options-300x109.png" alt="vm-options" width="300" height="109" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2219" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou''ll need to download ALL of the files listed for the specific version of IE you''d like work with. Depending on which OS you''re using, you may see a combo of *.exe/*.rar files (Windows) or *.sfx/*.rar files (OSX/Linux). The *.exe & *.sfx are self-extractors which will look for all of the files and combine them into the single VM you''ll need. \r\n\r\nThe great thing about this process is that:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You can use the VM software of your choice</li>\r\n	<li>You only have to download the files once per VM. <strong>They can be reused to recreate the VM after 90 days</strong>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nCurrently, we''re offering VMs that will run on:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX</li>\r\n	<li>Linux</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe VM software choices are specific to the OS you choose:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows - Hyper-V, Virtual PC, VirtualBox & VMWare Player for Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX- VirtualBox, VMWare Fusion and Parallels</li>\r\n	<li>Linux - VirtualBox</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nOne thing to note is that it''s best to use an updated version of the VM software, especially for the Win8 VMs. Otherwise, you may encounter issues with the VM software not being able to run the virtualized OS properly.\r\n\r\nThe IE versions being offered are:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>IE6 on Windows XP</li>\r\n	<li>IE7 on Vista</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows XP</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE9 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 8</li>\r\n	<li>IE11 Developer Preview on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE11 Developer Preview on Windows 8.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nFor all intents you can now test against a full copy of any version of Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\n<h2>Extracting the Virtual Machine</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Windows</h3>\r\n\r\nNotice that for IE9 on Win7 for VirtualBox on Windows, I''ve downloaded 5 files. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-300x122.png" alt="extract" width="300" height="122" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2230" /></a>\r\n\r\nI need to run <em>"IE9.Win7.For.WindowsVirtualBox.part1.exe"</em> to kick off the extraction. This will prompt me for a destination folder to extract to:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-2.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-2-300x225.png" alt="extract-2" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2231" /></a>\r\n\r\nNote that once the extraction is completed, the dialog box just disappears and you won''t get a prompt that it''s done. Hop over to your directory and you should find the newly extracted VM file waiting for you:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm-300x112.png" alt="yourvm" width="300" height="112" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2232" /></a>\r\n\r\n<h3>OSX</h3>\r\n\r\nOSX users have it even easier because you can use cURL to pull down all the files in one swoop. Just look for the "Grab them all with cURL" link and click on it. It''ll give you a popup like this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/curl.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/curl-300x47.png" alt="curl" width="300" height="47" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2225" /></a>\r\n\r\nOpen up terminal, "cd" to the directory where you want to download the files and paste the link displayed to kick off the download.

(2254, 3, '2013-07-25 12:12:06', '2013-07-25 16:12:06', 'When Microsoft first launched <a href="http://www.modern.ie">modern.IE</a> and revamped the way that IE VMs were offered, I wrote up a post that talked about how to install them. Since then, the site has changed so it''s time to update this post to reflect not only the new UI of the site but the new method of downloading individual VMs.\r\n\r\nIf you haven''t heard about modern.IE, then definitely read up on it here: \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blogs.windows.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2013/01/31/introducing-modern-ie-testing-sites-for-internet-explorer-made-easier.aspx">Introducing modern.IE – Testing sites for Internet Explorer made easier</a>\r\n\r\n<h2>The New Way to get IE VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nUp until now, if you wanted to test different versions of IE natively you had to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11575">download VPC images</a> that would allow you to run virtual machines for the different versions of IE. It wasn''t a great solution because:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>They were designed to be run in Microsoft''s Virtual PC software making it hard for non-Windows developers to use them.</li>\r\n	<li>They were broken apart into multiple, large download files</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThere were ways to use them on other OSes but <a href="http://tumblr.jonthornton.com/post/11405634980/how-to-run-microsofts-ie-vpc-images-in-virtualbox">it required some work</a> or <a href="https://github.com/xdissent/ievms">unofficial scripts to convert them</a>. Either way, the IE VPCs weren''t very easy or convenient to use.\r\n\r\nWe wanted to make this easier so as part of the modern.IE project, we <a href="http://www.modern.ie/virtualization-tools">created a new set of VMs</a> that targeted your OS and your VM-specific software. \r\n\r\nWhen you hit the page "Test across browsers" page, scroll down until you see this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vms.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vms-300x96.png" alt="vms" width="300" height="96" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2212" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis is the section that helps you to choose the right OS and platform. Now, you''ll be able to choose your OS:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-os.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-os-300x86.png" alt="vm-os" width="300" height="86" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2214" /></a>\r\n\r\nthen choose the VM software:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-platform.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-platform-300x86.png" alt="vm-platform" width="300" height="86" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2217" /></a>\r\n\r\nand download the VM with the version(s) of IE you''d like to install:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-options.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vm-options-300x109.png" alt="vm-options" width="300" height="109" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2219" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou''ll need to download ALL of the files listed for the specific version of IE you''d like work with. Depending on which OS you''re using, you may see a combo of *.exe/*.rar files (Windows) or *.sfx/*.rar files (OSX/Linux). The *.exe & *.sfx are self-extractors which will look for all of the files and combine them into the single VM you''ll need. \r\n\r\nThe great thing about this process is that:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>You can use the VM software of your choice</li>\r\n	<li>You only have to download the files once per VM. <strong>They can be reused to recreate the VM after 90 days</strong>.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nCurrently, we''re offering VMs that will run on:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX</li>\r\n	<li>Linux</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nThe VM software choices are specific to the OS you choose:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Windows - Hyper-V, Virtual PC, VirtualBox & VMWare Player for Windows</li>\r\n	<li>OSX- VirtualBox, VMWare Fusion and Parallels</li>\r\n	<li>Linux - VirtualBox</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nOne thing to note is that it''s best to use an updated version of the VM software, especially for the Win8 VMs. Otherwise, you may encounter issues with the VM software not being able to run the virtualized OS properly.\r\n\r\nThe IE versions being offered are:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>IE6 on Windows XP</li>\r\n	<li>IE7 on Vista</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows XP</li>\r\n	<li>IE8 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE9 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE10 on Windows 8</li>\r\n	<li>IE11 Developer Preview on Windows 7</li>\r\n	<li>IE11 Developer Preview on Windows 8.1</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n\r\nFor all intents you can now test against a full copy of any version of Internet Explorer.\r\n\r\n<h2>Extracting the Virtual Machine</h2>\r\n\r\n<h3>Windows</h3>\r\n\r\nNotice that for IE9 on Win7 for VirtualBox on Windows, I''ve downloaded 5 files. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-300x122.png" alt="extract" width="300" height="122" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2230" /></a>\r\n\r\nI need to run <em>"IE9.Win7.For.WindowsVirtualBox.part1.exe"</em> to kick off the extraction. This will prompt me for a destination folder to extract to:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-2.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-2-300x225.png" alt="extract-2" width="300" height="225" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2231" /></a>\r\n\r\nNote that once the extraction is completed, the dialog box just disappears and you won''t get a prompt that it''s done. Hop over to your directory and you should find the newly extracted VM file waiting for you:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/yourvm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/yourvm-300x112.png" alt="yourvm" width="300" height="112" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2252" /></a>\r\n\r\n<h3>OSX</h3>\r\n\r\nOSX users have it even easier because you can use cURL to pull down all the files in one swoop. Just look for the "Grab them all with cURL" link and click on it. It''ll give you a popup like this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/curl.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/curl-300x47.png" alt="curl" width="300" height="47" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2225" /></a>\r\n\r\nOpen up terminal, "cd" to the directory where you want to download the files and paste the link displayed to kick off the download. Easy peasy.\r\n\r\nTo extract the virtual machine, you''ll need to go into terminal and set execute permission on the .sfx file like this "chmod +x filename.sfx". You can then kick off the extraction by running the file: "./filename.sfx".\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-osx.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/extract-osx-300x200.png" alt="extract-osx" width="300" height="200" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2236" /></a>\r\n\r\nYou can find fully detailed installation instructions for the downloaded VMs <a href="https://modernievirt.blob.core.windows.net/vhd/virtualmachine_instructions_2013-06-27.pdf">in this PDF</a>.\r\n\r\n<h2>Installing the VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nThe VMs may come with some minimum resource settings already preconfigured. Here''s what I recommend to ensure you get a decent performing VM:\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>Give your VM a minimum of 1GB of RAM</li>\r\n<li>Give it the most amount of video memory possible</li></ul>\r\n\r\nRemember that you''re VM is an OS and it needs resources. Unless you''re loading multiple VMs at the same time, a gig of RAM shouldn''t have a major adverse issue on a decent system. Also note that while IE9 & IE10 support GPU-enhanced rendering, don''t expect the same performance in your VM as you would get from a native system.\r\n\r\nThe VMs you download are in compressed format. Once you''ve got them on your computer, you should run the extraction executable I referenced above to extract them for use. This will create the virtual machine file that you''ll import into your VM software. Again, you can find fully detailed installation instructions for the downloaded VMs <a href="https://modernievirt.blob.core.windows.net/vhd/virtualmachine_instructions_2013-06-27.pdf">in this PDF</a>.\r\n\r\n<h3>VirtualBox on Windows</h3>\r\n\r\nInstalling on VirtualBox is usually as easy as double-clicking the .ova file that you extracted. \r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/yourvm-300x112.png" alt="yourvm" width="300" height="112" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2232" /></a>\r\n\r\nWhen you do this, you should get a VirtualBox dialog like this:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vb-import.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/vb-import-282x300.png" alt="vb-import" width="282" height="300" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-2234" /></a>\r\n\r\nClick on the "Import" button and VirtualBox will do the rest. It''s really that simple.\r\n\r\n<h3>VMWare Fusion</h3>\r\n\r\nThe VM software I use on OSX is VMWare Fusion so here are the steps I went through to setup the Win8/IE10 VM.\r\n\r\nClick on the "Add" drop down to create a new VM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-300x215.png" alt="vmware" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1976" /></a>\r\n\r\nChoose "Continue without disc":\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-new.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-new-300x228.png" alt="vmware-new" width="300" height="228" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1977" /></a>\r\n\r\nThis should present you with a screen to "Use an existing virtual disk" which is exactly what you want to do:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-choosevm.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-choosevm-300x259.png" alt="vmware-choosevm" width="300" height="259" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1978" /></a>\r\n\r\nI chose the "Select to create a copy of it" so that my original download isn''t affected and it makes a copy in the default VMWare VM directory. When you select the image, it will display a prompt asking if you want to convert it to an updated format:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-dontconvert.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-dontconvert-300x103.png" alt="vmware-dontconvert" width="300" height="103" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1979" /></a>\r\n\r\n<strong>Don''t convert it</strong>. I tried to and it seemed to corrupt the VM.\r\n\r\nSelect the proper version of Windows. These are 32 bit versions of the OS so the standard OS selections are fine (i.e.: not 64-bit). At the "Finish" screen, click "Customize Settings" to give the VM a better name like "Win8 - IE10" and from there, VMWare will beging the process of copying the disc to the default VM directory and present you with the new VM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmdone.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmdone-300x215.png" alt="vmware-vmdone" width="300" height="215" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1980" /></a>\r\n\r\nBefore you start the new VM, change the RAM settings so your VM won''t have any trouble starting up. Again, I recommend a minimum of 1GB of RAM:\r\n\r\n<a href="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmsettings.png"><img src="http://blog.reybango.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/vmware-vmsettings-300x190.png" alt="vmware-vmsettings" width="300" height="190" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1981" /></a>\r\n\r\nYour VM should now be ready to use.\r\n\r\n<strong>REALLY IMPORTANT:</strong> If you''re using a Win8.x-based VM, be sure to set your screen resolution in the VM to a minimum of 1366x768 if you want to be able to use Internet Explorer. Internet Explorer desktop can launch in smaller resolutions but IE10 for Win8 and IE11 Developer Preview for Win8.1 are a Windows apps and needs the higher resolution. You''ll also want this for testing snap mode.\r\n\r\n<h3>VirtualBox on OSX</h3>\r\n\r\n<a href="https://twitter.com/cdwharton">Chris Wharton</a> has written up a quick guide on <a href="http://chriswharton.me/2013/02/installing-modern-ie-virtualization-on-virtualbox-for-mac/">how to get the Virtualbox VMs running on OSX</a>. Just follow the steps I outlined for extracting your VM and then follow Chris'' steps for installing in VirtualBox.\r\n\r\n<h2>Time Limits on the VMs</h2>\r\n\r\nAll of the VMs have a time limit 90 days of total time from the moment you first use the VM. Basically it''s 30 days usage with two 30-day rearms. To rearm, go into a <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc947813(v=ws.10).aspx">command prompt with Administrator privileges</a> and type in "<strong>slmgr –rearm</strong>"\r\n\r\nAt the end of the 90 days, you''ll be able to use the VM for an hour before it shuts down. At this point, you''ll need to decide if that''s okay or if you''d like to recreate the VM and use it for another 90 days. <strong>Remember, you can reuse the same files you originally downloaded to recreate the VM so don''t delete them</strong> (unless you just love downloading big files).\r\n\r\n<h2>Functional Limitations</h2>\r\n\r\nI''ve been told that these images aren''t crippled and in my testing, I was able to apply updates and do installs with no issues. I would <strong>HIGHLY RECOMMEND</strong> that you run Windows updates when you use these VMs to get the latest updates and patches. Also, install an anti-virus software. <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/security-essentials-download">Microsoft Security Essentials</a> is free and will do the trick.

Do you think your readers might be interested in these videos and we can make something happen?\r\n\r\nCheck out two of our screencasts!\r\nBehavior-Driven Development with Cucumber:\r\nhttp://blog.codeship.io/2013/04/30/bdd-with-cucumber.html\r\n\r\nTop-5 Cucumber best practices:\r\nhttp://blog.codeship.io/2013/05/21/testing-tuesday-6-top-5-cucumber-best-practices.html\r\n\r\nLet me know what you think!

I''ve always liked curved, ergonomic keyboards and vaguely remembered mechanical keyboards from my college days in the late 80s.

I don''t know if you primarily develop for the web or also do programming for the Desktop. I am a seasoned programmer and always wanted a way to use PHP for developing desktop applications. But Zend just never pushed for that effort and we were pretty much stuck with things like PHP-GTK/WAMP/LAMP/XAMPP or C++/JAVA, etc... But as you already know the non-technical users don''t get those things and the deployment is just not smooth.\r\n\r\nSo, I created a PHP Web Application packager for Windows, Mac and Linux, called Nightrain. As a PHP developer you can create your software and run it through Nightrain. And nightrain basically displays a window that is native to the user''s operating system.

I noticed that you are familiar with Web Development. I don''t know if you primarily develop for the web or also do programming for the Desktop. I am a seasoned programmer and always wanted a way to use PHP for developing desktop applications. But Zend just never pushed for that effort and we were pretty much stuck with things like PHP-GTK/WAMP/LAMP/XAMPP or C++/JAVA, etc... But as you already know the non-technical users don''t get those things and the deployment is just not smooth.\r\n\r\nSo, I created a PHP Web Application packager for Windows, Mac and Linux, called Nightrain. As a PHP developer you can create your software and run it through Nightrain. And nightrain basically displays a window that is native to the user''s operating system. And it also takes care of the http requests, etc... So, to the end user the experience is seamless!\r\n\r\nUsing nightrain we were able to package popular PHP Scripts like Drupal, punBB, CakePHP Framework, etc... I don''t know if this tool is useful to you or not but if the need arises then you surely can count on this software.\r\n\r\nAnd the best part, I made this software completely free to use!\r\n\r\nYou can download the software here: http://www.nightrain.naetech.com/\r\n\r\nLet me know if you run into any technical issues or have questions.\r\n\r\nI will really appreciate it if you could share this tool with your friends and colleagues.
