Running IE v6 on Windows 7 with Symantec Workspace Virtualization
If you are looking for a way to run IE v6 on Windows 7 desktops, take a look at Symantec’s Endpoint Virtualization technologies. In less than three minutes you can see how this product works.
The software includes two different modules that are free of charge, including Workspace Virtualization administration and the Browser Selector tools. They are fairly simple to setup and flexible enough to isolate individual applications from the host Windows 7 OS.

The Dell Kace appliances
You can see a few of the video screencasts that I produced for Dell’s Kace division on this page. These were done for helping the general Dell sales staff explain what the Kace products can do, and are geared to be played jointly with the sales rep and the potential customer watching the same video from their own offices. If you would like to see the rest of sequence, please drop me an email and I can explain the project further.
