One of the beautiful things about virtual machines is that you can have more than one, and set up each one with different browsers or other software. For example, you can easily have one VM with IE6+FF1.5 and a second VM with IE7+FF2. On a Windows or Linux host system, you can even do this without wasting any disk space, by using VMware Workstation to create a base VM and then create "linked clones" of that base. Each linked clone uses up only enough disk space for the files that are changed from the base version. I don't think either Parallels or VMware Fusion on the Mac supports this, but you can achieve the same effect at the cost of disk space by simply creating your VM and installing Windows, and then make a second copy of the entire folder (on your Mac) that contains the VM. Now you have two identical VMs and can install different software in each. You can even run the two VMs at the same time, if you go into the System Properties panel inside one of the VMs and change its computer name (hostname) to avoid conflicts. And *thank you* for helping reduce the number of "site check" messages on this list. :-) -Mike ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7 information -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
