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?

I don't know enough about details like that: I just envisage a situation
in which some version of Windows won't support VMs earlier than a
certain version, and some systems not being simulatable on the earliest
version of VM that _is_ supported.

(Has anyone _tried_ nesting VMs - if only out of curiosity? I would
_imagine_ it makes for a very slow VM.)
