Many web designers know that you can't have more than one version of IE installed on a single installation of windows. It's a royal PITA.

Well, I iust came across this.

Would you believe, fairly straightforward instructions on how to get IE5, 5.5 and 6 running side-by-side on one windows machine. Y'know, just like *can't be done*, since forever (well, IE5, anyhow).

More follow-up here, including the inevitable question:
Why on earth would they not want you to be able to do this? Since the instructions are so simple, I'm going to assume someone, somewhere in the IE browser group [...] knew all along this was possible. What possible explanation would keep them from releasing the simple info and making developers the world over happier to use MS products?
Microsoft deliberately making life difficult for people? Say it isn't so!

[edit: more here, including handy-dandy zips of the minimal files required, though they may not last for long...]
