I've used the xp/ie6 image myself for a while now and it works fine. You can install all of the latest updates without having to lose the ability to run IE6.

EDIT: Although it says the images expire in september, they do make new images available before the existing ones "time out".
I forgot about that - I downloaded the full free Virtual PC 2007 to use in Vista only to find it can only run in Business or Ultimate Editions (not my lowly Home Premium). Having just checked it is XP Pro compatible too.

I think it's only the Vista image that expires in September...

I'll grab that and have a play with it later - thanks
