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.
