Installing IE6/IE7 on win7
Hi, I realize there is another similar thread here but it was simply full of "you shouldn't" answers so I decided maybe it was better to create a new thread.
I need IE6 because I'm a website developer and it's very important for me to make websites that look at least okay with IE6, since it has well over 10% market share. Same thing for IE7.
Considering how much they ignore web standards it's usually needed to heavily modify the HTML based on the user-agent to make it work. And this of course cannot be done without them installed.
So, is there any way to install them, excluding virtualization which is very annoying? (Uses a lot of ram, alt tab doesn't work as expected, copy & paste doesn't work or is more complicated, etc)
Before switching to windows 7 I used windows XP and had IE6, IE7 and IE8 installed without problems (Final Builds Site - Internet Explorer Collection). On windows 7 they don't seem to work, if I don't find a way that is not virtualization I guess i'll go back to XP.
