1. From where did you get this number ($1296)?
2. Version 3.2 EULA does not mention any limitation about running multiple
instances on the same computer by the same user. By experimenting, I
saw that the actual software does not enforce such a limitation.
3. Why do those four instances need to be run simultaneously by Michael?
It seems to me that checking how a browser rendering a Web site - is a
visual activity, which can be performed only serially.

Can Michael rely upon Crossover Office to support all features and quirks
of Microsoft's IE versions, and give the same behavior, look and feel as
real MS-Windows operating system versions running those IE versions? With
VMware (and other emulators) there can be no such doubt.
