...Typical inputs—like environment variables and mounted volumes—control edition choice, storage persistence, and resource sizing, which makes runs repeatable and disposable. Because it’s containerized, you can script lifecycle operations, snapshot state via volumes, and integrate the VM into CI or demo setups without a traditional hypervisor UI. Performance depends on host capabilities and whether hardware acceleration is available, but for light GUI tasks, tooling, or sandboxing, it’s surprisingly practical. Users should bring their own valid media and licenses, and be mindful of platform terms and host resource limits.

...The virtual machine is emulating a 1991 Macintosh Quadra 900 with a Motorola CPU, which Apple used before switching to the PowerPC architecture (Apple/IBM/Motorola) in the mid 1990s. You'll find various games and demos preinstalled, thanks to an old MacWorld Demo CD from 1997. Namely, Oregon Trail, Duke Nukem 3D, Civilization II, Alley 19 Bowling, Damage Incorporated, and Dungeons & Dragons. There are also various apps and trials preinstalled, including Photoshop 3, Premiere 4, Illustrator 5.5, StuffIt Expander, the Apple Web Page Construction Kit, and more.

...The ievms 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. Install network adapter drivers by opening the drivers CD image in the VM. The IE6 network drivers must be installed upon first boot, or an activation loop will prevent subsequent logins forever. If this happens, restoring to the clean snapshot will reset the activation lock. The VHD archives are massive and can take hours or tens of minutes to download, depending on the speed of your internet connection. ...
