IE6 on Vista

MS has decided to get rid of one of the most awefull browsers ever. IE6 does not run on MS Vista. And that is a bummer. Why? Because i'm a website developer and some companies still use this archaic stuff. Therefore i need to test my creations on IE6.

So there are some options:
1. don't use Vista
2. find some evil genius who ran IE6 on Vista

The first option is non negotiable, my company decided to install Vista on all workplaces and there is no rolling back.

So that leaves the second option, my friends at Tredosoft haven't found a solution yet (these are the guys that produce Multiple IE's; a package with IE3 and up). But via the comments on that site i found: http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage

It is not a real IE, but it does the trick, i can now succesfully test IE6 on Vista!
