Haha! I did it!
Ok, ok strictly speaking its not running on OSX, but it is running within OSX!
Screenshot:
Here's how it works:
1) get yourself a piece of junk old pc if you don't have a linux machine already
2) install Fedora Core 4
3) install wine version 20041019 (AND NO OTHER!) including devel packages
4) install wine-tools
5) run through all the prompts and install what it asks you to, then proceed to the IE6 installer thingummy in the menu
6) flip back to your mac, fire up an X11 terminal, and type 'ssh -Y [ip of your linux machine]'
7) go to ~/bin/
8) launch IE6 with './ie6'
9) badabing - bobs your mother's brother.
I've been trying for weeks to get IE6 running over X11 forwarding, but without any success, the above is the first (and interestingly, the quickest of any I tried) that worked!
Bye bye virtual PC, you are now obsolete on my machine. Good riddance!
