ie6 and ie7 on 1 machine

When I decided to install Vista on my development machine, I have to face several consequences… one of them is that I won’t be able to use ie6 because Vista came with pre-installed ie7. And I really don’t mind this; until several days ago when I tried could fix the css bug that apparently only appear on ie6 but not with ie7! Hmm… weird huh?

Then, one thing came across my mind, how can I check the browser compatibility for ie6 and ie7 on the same machine? I googled it for a while, and I found this page. Luckily, Microsoft has provided a solution to run ie6 and ie7 on the same machine using virtual pc (free one..), they also provided free virtual pc image which contain Windows XP sp 2 that run ie6!

Below, is the screenshot of my Vista running Windows XP sp2
