Installing IE7 automatically overwrites IE6, this is great if your a user, bye bye ugly useless IE6, but for developers its a bit of a bitch! So why not install them both.

Firstly create a folder called IE7 - It doesn’t matter where you make it.
Then download IE7 save the .exe file in the ie7 folder you made.
Download IE7 standalone archive by Jon Galloway. The blurb says theres an easier version to install but you dont need a pretty GUI the bat file works just fine!
Unzip the folder into the IE7 file.
Run IE7 standalone setup.bat It will do the dirty for you, to run IE7 run ie7.bat.

This is invaluble and its the closest you’ll get without having to worry about virtual machines etc! (Microsoft will probably never provide a means to have both running)

Why would you want both though? well the main reason is that users still running 2000 (I’ve seen people still running 95 - thats 11years old!) cant upgrade to IE7 and there will always be some running IE6 as a choice (or ignorance).

Wow.. It’s still new to me there’s an IE7 although nowadays I’ve grown more attached to using mozilla firefox. but that’s ver useful for those who need the two browsers on one PC.

Urgh, IE 7 Beta overwrote my IE 6 installation already :( Wish I had this before I installed it.

Also, concerning your little spamblockermath thing. 9+4×5 could also be interpreted as 65; I guess it just uses order of operations and I’m totally not thinking :(

Actually, multiplication always takes precedence over addition, so there’s really only one way to interpret it.
