Where can I get a Virtual Hard Disk of Windows XP with IE6 installed for the
purpose of testing website compatability with older browsers? Obviously I
need one that doesn't require activation all the time.

What about the statement "The image is time bombed and will no longer
function after April 1, 2007."? I didn't bother reading the rest of that

How can I make a VM of XP with IE6? - these are not for sale now.

R. McCarty's answer points to a VM supplied by Microsoft for this purpose
but this expires on Dec 25th 2008

You have the XP CD from your computer no? IE6 is still downloadable. What
could be the problem?
