I've been working with VMs a lot and while they do have their advantages I find them cumbersome to handle. They take a lot of space and are a pain to backup. And probably you need an extra license for the VM's OS. Nevertheless, if you want a really clean solution they're probably your best choice. Also I'd like to point out that MultipleIE isn't exactly a hack or a workaround. Rather it uses the "DLL hell workaround" technique. Still it has some issues, so I can understand your point.

It's very easy to forget to test your websites in different browsers but it is so important to your viewers. I’m so glad to find out about Virtual PC.

However, I've done enough programming to know that anytime I work with a hack (aka workaround) I'm not working in the true environment. Therefore, you can never be sure if the problem you are seeing is because of the hack or because of the version of the browser you are running. By using Virtual PC, you are working in an isolated environment. There is no question that what you are seeing is what others using a similar browser will see. As for easy, our definitions of easy must be different. Mine is that no matter how long it takes, it works right every time I do it. Your definition must have something to do with how long the process takes. Yes Leo, I’m familiar with the DLL Hell workaround.

Have you heard of MultipleIEs? http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE A lot easier IMHO ;-) Quote: “Easy, you install Virtual PC, free from Microsoft.
