Very interesting and indeed it shows my error or is that MS error. My 
standalone copy of IE6 would never had read the real IE6 conditional comments 
in the first place. This causes no problem to me personally since I getting use 
to having IE8 corrupting my registry and thus my IE6 version vectors but I will 
continue on my merry path to test the chaos that can result (and until I have 
two PCs in running order). It may confused others authors who have have not set 
up IE8 on a virtual PC and not know that version vectors are corrupted when 
using conditional comments and none of this is indicated on the IE blog [1] for 
installing IE8. It's important to be able to test in standalone versions of 
IE6, IE7 and IE8 and it seems that MS never considered the impact that IE8 
could have with testing earlier versions of IE.

Another thing that I have now realized is that any request for help with IE6 on 
this list where conditional comments do appear the code we must now consider if 
this person is running IE8 on virtual PC or as an overwrite of IE7. It's like a 
warp labyrinth which we must transverse to see the light. :-)
