Test in IE7 and IE6 using VPC on the same machine

December 4, 2006 @ 3:13 pm · Filed under ASP/SQL/JS Code, Internet

Ok, IE7 was released recently and for a lot of designers/developers out there it means having to use two machines to do the testing or using hacks (that don’t work 100%). Microsoft have just released a FREE Virtual PC containing a pre-activated Windows XP SP2, with IE6 and the IE7 Readiness Toolkit to allow you to easily test in both IE6 and IE7 on the same machine.

I use standalone versions of IE5 and IE6 right alongside IE7. Works fine. Thx for the link though, worth checking out.

Well, if yours does tell me what windows do you use. After I upgraded mine, it started to crash more often than usual.
