+Overview
+========
+
+Microsoft provides virtual machine disk images to facilitate website testing 
+in multiple versions of IE, regardless of the host operating system. 
+Unfortunately, setting these virtual machines up without Microsoft's VirtualPC
+can be extremely difficult. These scripts aim to facilitate that process using
+VirtualBox on Linux or OS X. With a single command, you can have IE6, IE7, IE8
+and IE9 running in separate virtual machines.
+
+Requirements
+============
+
+    * VirtualBox (http://virtualbox.org)
+    * Curl (Ubuntu: ``apt-get install curl``)
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+    curl -s https://raw.github.com/xdissent/ievms/master/ievms.sh | bash
