Testing IE6 + IE7

Testing IE6 + IE7: The browser upgrade changed functionality on existing webpages, and it will take awhile for the entire audience to switch to IE7+, so it will remain necessary to test work in both versions of the Microsoft browser. But because Microsoft projects tend to be very heavily integrated with the system, you can't install both on the same OS. Keeping two PCs running is one option. But now the Microsoft IE blog offers a disk image of a virtualized IE6 installation that you can install alongside your IE7 setup... it essentially lets you switch to another version of Windows on your single PC so that you can run both environments on the same box.
