Virtual PC

For months, my installation of Microsoft Word wasn't working, and I didn't have the wherewithal to reinstall it. (Yes, I did have the CDs, just not the patience.) I was pretty sure that it was irrevocably corrupted, and I didn't wanna think about it. So imagine how surprised I was when I uninstalled some garbage I had no use for (half of which I don't even know how it got installed) and suddenly Word started working again.

I'm wondering if it might not be a good idea to look at Virtual PC, now that Microsoft has decreed that it is free, and start installing things that way so they don't conflict with each other. What started me on this? A nice piece about how to test with IE 6 when you have already installed IE 7.
