Testing IE – Virtual PC

Okay, I've complained a lot about Internet Explorer.  With good reason, in some cases, sometimes just because I'm complaining.

One of the things that has always bugged me about IE - you can only have one version on your computer.  That makes it tough to test versions 6, 7, and 8 without having multiple computers.

Microsoft stepped up and created virtual machine images for each variable.  See IE6 and IE7 Running on a Single Machine.

Do I want to be using multiple VMs to test a browser?  No, but at least now I can do it.

Why I cross the street ….

Some people, when they get see a young man, dressed in hoodies and sagging jeans, walking along the sidewalk, cross over and walk on the other side of the street.  Me?  I cross over when I see someone walking their dog, but only if they have dressed their dog in human clothes.  Yes, that's right, they scare me.   Not the dog, the owner. I mean, how can you predict how someone that would do that to their dog is going to behave?  You can't.  It's a sign of a twisted mind.
