Internet Explorer 9 VHD

Question

Hi

When trying to test across multiple versions of Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8) I have in the past used the Virtual PC Console and mounted VHDs available from Microsoft. I am running Windows Server 2003.

This system seems to suit me, although now IE9 is on the scene I wondered if anyone knew of a VHD for the IE9 beta?

Cheers

Answer 1

Have you look at SuperPreview in Expression Web? http://expression.microsoft.com/en-us/dd565874.aspx I don't think IE9 is included, but it may improve your productivity.

I am not aware of a VHD with an OS and IE9, but there isn't any reason you couldn't create one.

Answer 2

Microsoft is releasing "Platform Previews" of IE9 that can be installed side-by-side with IE8 on Windows Vista and Windows 7, so there's no need to use a virtual machine. http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/
