Related, but off-topic for Legacy (sorry):
Has anyone using Virtual PC (or VMware's similar product) and Windows XP had
problems? Did you have to buy a second copy of XP? I'm concerned that when
XP under the Virtual PC "phones home" MS will see it as a "second PC,
unlicensed XP version".
Thanks,
Bob

Brenda,
You are quite right - for those intent on not using IE7, Virtual PC is
perfect. A second copy of Windows with IE7 and Legacy7 will be an answer.
I have no idea why there is such antipathy towards IE7; I've used it without
a single problem since it was released and Legacy7 only uses a part of IE7,
the 'engine' behind it, in the same way it 'uses' Windows itself.

Subject: [LegacyUG] Question to "seasoned" computer users re: IE7/Legacy 7
Following the thread about IE7 all day and knowing that some users of this
user group are quite knowledgeable regarding MS products, I have a
question: Would MS's Virtual PC be an option? It sounds like a lot of
work, but I guess if you don't want to install IE7 on your "regular"
computer and really want to use Legacy 7's mapping feature, perhaps it's an
option. Virtual PC is one of the few free programs MS offers; it allows you
to run multiple operating systems on one computer. I recall a group using
it at work that had a web-based program that was stupidly programmed to
Internet Explorer 4.0, SP1a (and ONLY worked on that version). Then, of
course, the other option is just not to use the mapping feature. :-)

Anxiously awaiting the Legacy 7 download, but not whining.
