Internet Explorer 6 Application Compatibility VPC Image
review from ClifNotes, Dec 2006, permalink _ Misc. Utilities
I've tried it out, it works great. Too bad it's time limited ...
Basically, MS is giving us a virtual copy of Windows XP with IE6 installed so that webmasters can write pages that work well in all versions of Internet Explorer. First you fire up MS Virtual PC, then load the new virtual hard drive. I'll use my copy for trying out programs I don't trust.
Quote from IE Blog
Microsoft has recently made Virtual PC 2004 a free download; we’ve taken advantage of that by releasing a VPC virtual machine image containing a pre-activated Windows XP SP2, IE6 and the IE7 Readiness Toolkit to help facilitate your testing and development. The image is time bombed and will no longer function after April 1, 2007. We hope to continue to provide these images in the future as a service to web developers. (source)
