If you're a web developer (like me) and need to test a website in good old Internet Explorer 6 but you have Windows Vista or you've upgraded your Internet Explorer to version 7. Then luck is on your side and Microsoft has been so kind to supply Virtual PC for free and an image of Windows XP with IE 6 for free.

All you need to do is download Virtual PC 2004, which is also free, and then download Internet Explorer 6 Testing VPC Image.

Most developers (like myself) will be ignoring Internet Explorer 6 once Internet Explorer 8 has been announced, so we won't have to go through the tedious issues of fixing Internet Explorer 6 JavaScript bugs for much longer (unless specifically requested by a client).
