IE6 / IE7 VPC's Coming

Just a quick note to say that the IE6 and IE7 VPC images are being updated as we speak, and I suspect the new versions should be online Monday or Tuesday.

    Here's an even better idea, create a stand alone version of IE6 & IE7 so we can run both without having to use Virtual PC.

    @rbonser Lucky you... I've still got IE4 and IE5 users hitting our .COM (although, I admit, I no longer even attempt to test for those versions).

    Sell the VM as a stand alone machine for $50.00 with no time expiration.  Keep VPC as an application alive for the long run so that old VM images with special software installed can be managed more effectively by IT shops.

    First, I appreciate the work that is done in support of keeping IE6 available to developers and I will say nothing bad about either MS or the individuals who help create this. It is a life saver for me and its a free solution so small businesses like the one I work for have an option that doesn't break the bank. I do like the idea of selling the standalone version with no time expiration, but essentially that doesn't quite fulfill the requirement at hand...which is basically to not give away a copy of XP. I would build my own if I could ensure that the pre-activated key/WGA/validation wouldn't be a problem....for example, if I could use a license key that was specific for this type of VM application and that wouldn't fail validation or continuously report activation failure.
