Formal support *should* be an issue for you. About a year ago I made the
mistake of installing a package which purported to allow multiple
versions of IE to run, e.g. for testing websites. It worked with no
apparent problems for a while, but then it somehow damaged my system so
badly that it took about 28 hours of hard work to fix the damage done.
Now I do all my testing with multiple versions of IE using Microsoft's
Virtual PC, one of the two approved methods of doing so: it is a lot
slower than that package, but at least my PC is stable.
