UPDATED : If you're reading Microsoft..

This is not the user experience developers want. If it would not be too much trouble could you make new VPC images available as soon as old ones expire. Thank you.

Looks as though they have updated them

Answer 2

Modern.ie

Seems you need the Microsoft Modern.ie web site.

These images are legal as modern.ie is run by Microsoft.

They provide a wide range of various versions of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, & 8.1) combined with various versions of Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). (as of 2015-07)

The downloads are pre-configured, Windows-already-installed, and ready-to-run virtual machine image files for multiple virtualizers (VirtualBox, Hyper-V, VMware, VPC, Parallels) running on Windows/Mac/Linux hosts.

Answer 3

It seems they have expired agian and as yet I can't find updated versions. The one I have was set to expire on 4th April and sure enough I can't event get thenm to run for an hour.

I'm really wishing that final 6% of my user base would upgrade from ie6!!!

Answer 4

New versions are available, running out 26th July 2012
