Microsoft, doing its best to facilitate its Edge and web platforms, is giving away free VMware and VirtualBox virtual machines. Developers can download - free of charge - VMs running: XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 8, Win 8.1, or Windows 10. The images are aimed primarily towards developers that need to test software with IE versions 6 through 11 (and, of course, Edge). The VMs expire after 90 days, but Microsoft recommends 'setting a snapshot when you first install the virtual machine which you can roll back to later.' Which, incidentally, is something rather trivial to do with VirtualBox: Stephen Glasskeys Meaning, if you need to use an image for more than 90 days, that won't be much of a problem either.
So if you are a developer that needs to test apps running in older versions of Windows or IE, head over to Microsoft's. This article is published as part of the IDG Contributor Network.
