This is not directly relevant to VB6 but could be useful for anyone testing applications under different versions of Windows.
Not sure how widely known this is but there was a product around called Connectix Virtual PC which effectively supports multiple Windows installations on a single PC. This product was recommended to us and we downloaded a trial version and it seemed to work fine. Looked good as could save us a fortune in hardware as we might otherwise have had to have a number of PC's set up with different versions of Windows - either that or mess with dual boot scenarios.
Microsoft have now acquired this product but their own badged version is not yet available. However, MSDN subscribers can download a full version of the Connectix product free of charge.
Look under 'Platforms' in MSDN Universal downloads - Connectix Virtual PC for Windows 5.2.
We have been using it for a few weeks on and off and it seems to be a pretty good tool.
Hope this is of some use to some of you.
