If you'd like to run IE 6 and 7 at the same time, Web design guru Jennifer
Kyrnin has an in-depth tutorial to help you accomplish this.

e/index.01.htm

Redmond (WA) - Responding to developers' wishes to be able to run both Internet
Explorer 6 and 7 side-by-side, Microsoft has launched a Virtual PC (VPC) image
of Windows XP Service Pack 2, Internet Explorer 6, and the IE7 Readiness
Toolkit.

"The VPC image runs in a virtual machine that offers all of the functionality
of a full IE6 installation without giving it any access to its host machines
hard drive, registry, etc. You can make as many modifications as you want to
the virtual machine without affecting your host installation at all," wrote IE
product manager Pete LePage in the IE blog.

The download went live yesterday and has a size of 495.8 MB. Microsoft has
released other VPC downloads to allow users to run multiple operating systems
on a single computer.
