Hi There. This is my first post so hope it’s in the right section. I have been wondering if there is an option to properly test older versions on IE with my new site. Is there an option to have all older browsers available at one click so I can re-code any problems? I was wondering if others have came across a good option that can have every browser say to IE6. I’m running XP on PC. Has Windows 7 got such a feature installed? Has anyone used it?
Thanks

Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate come with Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft...ows/virtual-pc/) and then it that you can have an XP emulation with IE6.
Then if you run IE8 or IE9 on Win7 you can use the developer tools to emulate prior releases (IE7 and IE8 where applicable)

I used to use mutpleie but it just never got me the correct results. When I moved to mac I set up 3/4 Virtual Private Servers. Running different versions of ie on each!
