What?

      

How annoying. I wonder how the designers of Microsoft's website will check that their work is compatible with IE6?



This is yet another reason to use a Mac: with Parallels you can have different virtual machines running instances of Windows with different installs on them (or so I believe) so could have one with IE 6 and one with the new 'un.



You don't need a Mac to run virtual machines - VMware does it for PC's or Linux (it's free I think), but it's not the only product.



Yep. Virtual PC (freeware, MS) and Virtualbox (OSS) also enable virtual machines on Windows boxes.



Yup, VMWare and Virtual PC are both free. Stuff on lots of RAM and carry on.

Just remember that your virtual Windows XP PC will need to be "activated" before it will work, and must have a licence. No, silly, not the same licence your real physical PC has, another, new different one that you have to buy.

Argh.

If you're really that interested, here's an RSS feed for the latest comments to this blog. Never miss another pointless argument.

Of course comments are moderated, in a common-sense sort of a way. You don't have to give your email address to post here.

If you know your HTML, you can use <a>, <b>, and <i> tags, and entities, too. If you don't, you can still use them, but with a greater sense of trepidation.

Cheers.
