Chandra--

The official Microsoft solution for running other versions of IE is to run them on a virtual server.

However that is not a practical solution for many. This application will allow you to install IE3 through IE6 on a non-VISTA system with IE7 installed. http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE

For those who wish to test linear structure and accessibility usability on the Lynx text only browser with an easy install for Windows [I have not tested the install on VISTA]: http://csant.info/lynx

Great Work Molly.

To all the great engineers at MicroSoft involved in IE, Can you please provide us with a simple way to have IE6 and IE7 installed side by side for testing our sites? I am sure it would not be that difficult if you really decide to do that.

What is Microsoft's position on the WHATWG being used as starting point for HTML 5?

Or, because aspects of the specification overlap with proprietary technologies being developed by Microsoft, oh, I don't know, lets say XAML, will it be shunned, basically screwing over everyone who doesn't dance to your tune?

What's the spin this time?

It is sometimes impressive to see gears turning, pistons pumping, and steam blowing, but as both a Web developer and a Web user, none of that makes any difference for me unless something of reasonable quality actually rolls out of the Internet Explorer machine and into the hands of Web users. Yes, the IE 7 rendering engine is better than that of IE 6, but it still not as good as those of several other Web browsers; the lack of proper XHTML support may not seem like a big deal to many, but the still-horrid CSS support in IE certainly is. Every employee in every group at Microsoft could jump up and down waving the standards of Web standards and interoperability, but until it seems that all of the supposed enthusiasm is actually going to result in products with better standards support and interoperability in the foreseeable future, the rest of the public seems unlikely to share it.

Now that the honeymoon with Internet Explorer 7 is over, the excitement has died down and we are left with the reality that we are in the same situation we were in before: Internet Explorer is inferior to other browsers and Internet Explorer is holding back the Web.

I just posted a post about the IE Connect database in response to thacker, steve_web and Chris Beall. I'd love to hear some feedback on it.
