- Sounds like you live out of the way a bit. I thought SoCal down that way had better coverage, or do all the towers burn down each year? When I had Vonage, you had to opt in to call 911, which is a...

As I teased yesterday, I’ve been mucking around with virtual machines to extend my ability to test Mix. Due to the varied nature of our users’ environments, I need to find ways to install more browsers, more versions on more operating systems.

Having said that. ies4linux and wine don't really give you a complete sense of an end users Windows/IE/yourwebsite experience.

I have been trying out legacy operating systems on VirtualBox, like Slackware 96. Installation started but then it conked. Had some luck with Red Hat 5.2, but the installation hung at the last stages. Planning to try out BeOS and OS2Warp.
The other interesting think what I did, is a nested virtual machine installation. Installed Windows XP on openSuse 10.3 x86-64 host. Then installed Virtual Box on Windows XP and then tried Ubuntu with Windows XP as guest. The installation did not start. Not sure why. Will give this a shot again.
The other good thing about VirtualBox is that it is very scalable. I could run Windows XP, Solaris 10 and Slackware 11 at the same time on openSuse 10.3 host without actually having any lag. My configuration is good. Here is my configuration:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 4000
6GB Dual Channel DDR2 667
250 + 200 GB SATA HDD
openSuse 10.3 x86-64 (Kernel Recompiled)
(Dual Booted with Slackware 12)
Yes, I am a Slackware and openSuse fan. Slackware is the quickest and openSuse is very well suited for a desktop. I strongly recommend you try these out.
And, ies4linux works beautifully on my openSuse box. Not sure whats wrong with your installation.

I like your idea of running old O/S. I'd like to see a Win 3.11 or NT 3.51 instance running on a Mac OS X host or something similar. That would rock.

They are even pretty responsive if I'm not running anything too memory hoggish on the native side...
Too bad Oracle VM isn't available for the Mac yet...

I'm very happy with VirtualBox. VMWare is great too, but VB works great. I can Vista on my Macbook and use OS X and Vista at the same time without any performance issues. Nice.

From IE 3 to IE 6 you can use this app from Trendsoft http://tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE :)
I hope it helps.
