In my desperate search for a solution to make my Windows 7 support the older versions of IE, i found this site - http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage - . It's a smooth solution for running degrading browsers from Microsoft.
Ofcourse like many other tools you can not completely fool the master IE. This tools has some limitations:
- The Previous/Next buttons are not working properly
- Focus is not working properly
- Java applets are not working
- Flash is not working on IE6 instance in user mode : A solution is to launch IETester as admin user and Flash will work.
- CSS Filters are not working correctly in user mode : A solution is to launch IETester as admin user and CSS Filters will work.
This are not big problems and it seems that they have an workaround.
