Overview:

In order to help web designers and web developers test their websites in older
versions of Internet Explorer,
we've provided the following VHD with Windows set up with the specified version of
Internet Explorer.
The images are patched with the latest security updates and are otherwise clean
installs of the operating system
with very few modifications.

This download page contains different VPC images, depending on what you want to
test.
These images are specifically designed to run on Microsoft Virtual PC, and may or
may not work in other
hosting environments.

Due to the size of the Windows 7 and Windows Vista VHDs, it is split across several
files, you'll need to
download all files for that version of the Internet Explorer and uncompress them to
the same directory to unpack
the VHD file.

The password to login to all of these images is Password1 and the username will be
present when you first login.

*Note: You may be required to activate the OS as the product key has been
deactivated.
This is the expected behavior. The VHDs will not pass genuine validation.
Immediately after you start the Windows 7
or Windows Vista images they will request to be activated. You can cancel the
request and it will
login to the desktop. You can activate up to two “rearms” (type slmgr –rearm at the
command prompt)
which will extend the trial for another 30 days each time OR simply shutdown the
VPC image and discard
the changes you’ve made from undo disks to reset the image back to its initial
state.
By doing either of these methods, you can technically have a base image which never
expires although
you will never be able to permanently save any changes on these images for longer
than 90 days.
