Originally posted by NickFitz View PostI have an XP VM containing a clean install; if I need a new VM I just copy it, then double-click to launch a clean system. When I wanted to test something on IE6, IE7 and IE 8 yesterday, it took about a minute for each one: resume the appropriate VM, point the browser at the page, check it was OK, then suspend the VM.
