      Yep, there is something that prevents older versions of explorer from being installed

        @scroogen:

        Dual boot is easy enough to do, but why not just download IE9 from the microshaft website?

        http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/internet-explorer/downloads/ie-9/worldwide-languages

        Because when I try, it fails because it see's another instance of IE

            Giles, have you tried Opera with the shipping application?

            Or you could consider dual boot with something like Linux Mint,

                Without asking for a hit, you can run Windows 8 on your Mac. I've been doing it @ Work/Home for years.

                http://www.vmware.com/support/fusion5/doc/fusion-50-release-notes.html#8Opt

                1)Install VMware Fusion
                2)File>New (in VMware Fusion)
                3)Insert Windows 8 CD
                4)click through windows installer

                1. You've now got Win8 running inside of OSX.

                Like emceeQ I'm currently running 5 VM's inside of OSX, and 2 of those OS's contain 2-5 VM's inside each of those (ESXi and SmartOS). All on my little MacBook Pro, which I posted a photo on yesterday.

                If you're able to, take back the PC 🙂

                    I dont want to run Windows 8, I need to run windows 7 or earlier.  Which I do on my mac, but the shipping companies will not load their software onto my mac period…

                      Win7, XP, 2K, any OS can be installed as a VM….It's almost impossible for the companies to determine it's running on a mac if they only have access from inside the VM. *I've worked with many vendors that won't/don't support virtualization, certain aspects of Oracle software fit in that boat.... Fair point if they're that pushy and won't support even when it makes nil(ish) difference.

                      Dual boot sounds like the least complicated option. *I'd still run as a Windows7 VM inside OSX, but then again I push for virtualization for a living :).

                      In Summary; Yuck!

                          Buy Windows 7, format the new computer and just run 7?

                            I think that is what I have to do…

                              I don't get the problem..  I have a MacBook, running Win7 with bootcamp, with TNT, FedEx and some other local freight company software all running fine.  No one gave a rats ass what brand was on the lid..

                                  It's been a few years since I've traded between AU<>NZ, but never had an issue. Without trying to complicate things, I'm happy to proxy to you via Australia if it's of help?

                                        Exactly, wasn't sure it made much(any?) sense, but if it worked out better, why not. AU<>NZ are very buddy buddy with 'stuff'.
