It’s not like I really have any love for Microsoft’s Internet Explorer, but as a developer I am faced with making sure my sites work in all of the modern browsers. Microsoft, in their infinate wisdom built their browser to be so highly integrated into the operating system so it’s almost impossible to natively have 2 different versions of the application installed. The problem is that many people haven’t upgraded to IE7 so I needed to have a separate machine with IE6 (with automatic updates turned off) to be able to test for that sector of the market.
I ran across this page detailing how to install and run multiple instaces of IE on the same machine. Yes, you can run IE7 and IE6 at the same time this way. Mulitple versions of Internet Explorer… it sounds good but I somehow still feel dirty. If you just can’t bring yourself to install the others, maybe this handy web tool will bridge the gap.
Ugh… that’s like trying to experience multiple levels of hell at the same time.
