Requires windows, apparently.

Also doesn't work on Chrome. Hillarious given the subject matter.

Please, I've seen this website a number of times, doesn't work on Mac and Linux, the two OSs that need this the most. Use a VM or for layout only: http://adobe.com/browserlab

That link didn't work for me, but this one did: https://browserlab.adobe.com/

That's a great find, I'm definitely going to use that in the future. Thanks.

That Adobe link is broken. This works - https://browserlab.adobe.com/index.html

yeah, doesnt seem to do much on mac, just keeps sending you round in circles: home - create - launch - nothing - [repeat]

Maybe something a bit clearer indicating what os etc this works on; at least a message explaining why nothing is happening ..

Would definitely use if I could easily test IE6 etc. over the web on my mac without installing some VMs. Note, screenshots don't count. I want to be able to login and click around.

I could not get it to work. Simply shows me links which take me to various browser pages. I use FF 3.0 on Mac.

Tried this a while back (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=629493), never worked for me (even on Windows), but then trying to get rid of background process SpoonSandbox.exe was worse than cleaning a virus. It just kept coming back, uninstall didn't do anything...

WARNING - I just tried to install this on FF3.5 (XP) and Firefox would not start. Took me a while to figure it out, but you need to use Add Remove Programs to get rid of it.

It doesn't work for Chrome, so I loaded it up on Firefox and it prompted me to install a plugin that I don't want all the while serving me up a Google Chrome advertisement.

Just have to throw in some positive notes on this one. I use this actually from a VM on Mac Snow Leopard and it works great. Personally I don't install IE6 only on my VMs. With Spoon I can test IE6-8, Opera, Chrome, and Firefox all at once. So don't bash just nod with the first person who mentioned it doesn't work on OSX and move on.
