IE6 and IE7 together on one PC

Website designers sometimes need to make sure design is OK on both IE7 and IE7. It is possible to have both IE6 and IE7 on one PC if you have one of them setup on virtual machine (either VMWare or virtual machine from Microsoft). Unfortunately, virtual machine is slow and needs a lot of additional tuning/actions.

Instead of virtual machine you could download Multiple IE pack, which allows to install IE3 to IE6 on your PC. More info here http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE.

I had IE7 installed on PC, and installed IE6 from above pack. Everything works just nice.

Note: about box on IE shows IE7 on my PC, but it would render page using IE6 rendering engine, so no worries.
