Browsium UniBrows Tool - Run IE6 inside IE8 or IE9

Thankfully, I've been able to move to IE8 for all home and work systems.  However, there are some legacy web applications that still may not run under the latest versions of Internet Explorer.  This new tool allows IE6 based applications to run in a virtualized mode in an IE8 tab if needed.

QUOTE: Most of the world may be running away from Internet Explorer 6 as fast as they can, especially now that it's officially 3 versions old, but there are users who can't make the decision so easily. Many businesses wrote in-house web-based applications, sometimes called "line of business apps," which relied on IE-specific features.  In the long run they will have to change, but in the meantime Browsium has a solution that let these companies put off the decision even longer. UniBrows is a tool that IT can use to allow IE8 users on Windows XP or Windows 7 to run Internet Explorer 6 apps in a tab under IE8. Browsium says that they will support IE9 when the final release is available, so presumably that will be soon.

QUOTE: Move your organization to Windows 7 or IE8 on Windows XP and keep your IE6 line of business applications intact—without changing a single line of code. UniBrows enables IE6 web applications to run inside an IE8 tab, empowering your organization to streamline the migration process and avoid the complexity and costs of virtualization.
