cool. I've been using it for testing. For instance, my host environment is Vista which has IE7 and no IE6. I run a XP Pro VM with IE6 with a userland type install, ie flash player production not debug. IE6 and IE7 behave a little different with respect to Flash and the debug flash player is a wee diff from prod version at times. I also have a Ubuntu VM for playing with a modern linux flavor. I say modern because I used to be a slackware fan :)
VMWare is really easy to use too. Dean, curious why you can't make VMs of Mac OS? You mean earlier pre OS X? Yeah, me no apple groupie ;) DK On Dec 30, 2007 11:20 AM, Dean H.
