IE6 on Vista
Say you want to run IE6 in Windows Vista. If you think “that sounds like it should be easy but I bet it’s not” then you’re right.
This dude has packaged up various versions of IE into a single installer that lets you get multiple versions of IE on the same machine. However, it doesn’t work with Vista. There’s a link to a post from Pete LePage from the IE team suggesting the way to do this with Virtual PC (Microsoft’s virtualization product that competes with VMWare). That seems easy enough, but boy is virtualization not convenient. I have a half hour to go on my 600MB download of the VPC image with IE6.
Time to go heat up some more coffee…
