The IEBlog posted today that the IE6 VPC is now available. It is time locked so if you need it to last look at MSDN subscription, if you need it to support things until they work with IE7 or Vista then its a great option.

Quote from IEBlog

Well, I’m happy to report that I propped the new VHD up on Monday morning. You can download the image here. Take note that a free download of Virtual PC 2007 is now available, replacing VPC2004.

I didn’t make any major changes to the image other than adding the latest security updates. I also managed to reduce the download size to just under 400 megs, shaving off almost 100 megs from the previous image size. This image is time-bombed to July 23rd , but we will continue to release these images as long as they are needed. They are time-bombed because you get them for free. If you want images without time-bombs, an MSDN subscription is the way to go.

Update:
IE6 VPC will run happily in 128MB RAM
The VPC does not pass the Genuine Microsoft Software test, but its from MS so i’m not going to worry about it too much.
