The XP VM has IECollection (https://utilu.com/IECollection/) which
provides IE 8, 7, 6, 5.5, 5, 4, 3.03, 3.01, 3, 2.1, and 1.5 (although
versions before 3 don't work on modern shared hosting). Note that v1.0
require Win 95 or NT 4.
How long before you start having to nest VMs, do you think (-:?
I'm not sure why I would need that. Perhaps a limit on the number of Ms
to a host?
BTW, these are all on the same computer (with a 512GB SSD and 4TB
spinning drive). It would be very slow having all those VMs running at
the same time, but that's never necessary.
A VM makes backup (or even transferring the whole VM to another host, as
I have done once) easy. The whole "hard disk" is a single file on the host.
