   It’s a shame this VPC image will expire on 04/01/2007.

   I think this is crazy

   for any other browser (or application) running on os/x or linux would just require a seperate directory to run a different version of 99% of the application..

   You need to run a virtual OS just to run a html viewer .. wtf

   Evert - I have to agree with you. WFT! However this is just the way it is when working with MS products sometimes. It’s good to know that MS is aware of the problems they have caused by integrating the browser so closely into the OS. Even better to know that they have made this option available. And look at the bright side… Maybe by installing Virtual PC will enable more Windows developers to spin up a Linux OS on a save virtualized host!

   Hi,
   You all don’t need VPC for running IE6 and IE7 on the same machine just install IE7 and then go to %WINDOWS%/ie7 there is a file “iexplore.exe” if you right click it you’ll see in the version tab that is the IE6. Now you can send to desktop as a shortcut and use it. You’ll get IE6 and IE7 on a single machine.;)
   Regards
   Francis

   I need to know if I can have both IE 6 and 7, on the same machine. But run one or the other as I feel. Cause some work applications take only IE 6, and others take IE 7.
