If you use the freely availabel Microsoft Virtual PC you can run the also freely available IE Compat images Microsoft provides. These are timebombed which means you'll have to re-download them about every 3 to 4 months, but it also saves you having to buy 3 separate Windows XP licenses to run the current (IE8), previous (IE7) and ancient and evil (IE6) browsers. Best,
