Hi

I think this post is on topic for alt.html, but only just really.

I am very ignorant about Windows and I have got Windows XP Professional
SP2 in a Parallels workstation on my Mac OS X so I can check out
web-pages in IE 6.

All is going very well, but now I want to have a second installation of
Windows in the Parallels workstation so that I can check out web-pages
in IE 7.

I was rather fortuitous in that I got my Windows XP for free because I
work at a university. However I can only get one copy.

I'm not hugely rich so I'm not very enthusiastic about going out and
buying a second version of Windows XP just to run IE 7.

It has occurred to me however that I could upgrade IE 6 to IE 7 in the
Windows XP I have and then buy second-hand an old version of Windows to
install and run IE 6.

Which is why I'm asking if IE 6 will run on old versions of Windows, or
does it need XP?

If it will run on old versions of Windows how far back could it go.
Would it run on Windows 98 for example?
