We created http://remote.modern.ie http://remote.modern.ie so you can stream Internet Explorer to your Mac. Even to your iOS device :)

Please, let's not pretend remote.modern.ie OR the VM's are ANYTHING close to running the browser locally. They are, at best, a band-aid. Yes, pjmlp, safari is OS X-only now but just because I'm a Mac user does not mean I support that decision, I don't. Also you know how many times in the past 10 years I've heard someone say "Well it works in Chrome/FF/IE but not in Safari?" Never. That's not to say it never happens but I've spent many agonising hours trying to make IE behave when it works PERFECTLY in Chrome/FF/Safari. I've had a handful of "It works in FF but not Chrome" and "It works in Chrome but not FF" but I've got a landfill full of "It doesn't work in IE". Things I need before I'm going to pretend IE isn't a steaming pile of shit, hell I'd settle for just 1-2: * Evergreen browser (I'm sick of dealing with 7/8/9, I don't look forward to playing the same song and dance with 10/11/12/etc) * Cross-platform (Testing on Linux or a Mac is painful) * Open source (IE is the ONLY major browser that is not OS, and yes I know Chromium != Chrome but I'd be fine with IE doing the same sort of thing)

  Actually IE11 isn't too bad. Still a bit worse than the others, but Safari has also lagged lately (and Safari also isn't evergreen). (I agree with all of the above for the older IE < 10)

  From the instructions it appears it works with a current RDP client (likely the version required for connecting to Windows 8 or 2012R2) Interesting, as their partner for Modern.IE, BrowserStack, uses a Javascript based remote desktop. (It may also support Flash on certain browsers, but I'm not sure about that part.)
