The list was USU Network Managers.

Also, another thing just popped up on slashdot

Apparently an image for VirtualPC is available with XP/IE6 so you don't have to completely setup a virtual machine, possibly a simpler install than what you may have been looking at.

(The download is 500M)

I went ahead and downloaded it. After getting everything downloaded, Installation took less than 10 minutes. I had a copy of XP with IE6 running in a virtual machine on top of XP with IE6. (Yes, this seems to be a stupid experience, but I wanted to see if this actually worked. I didn't actually try the last one.)

Once VirtualPC is installed and the XPIE6 image is extracted, Run VirtualPC.
Key points: Create a _new_ virtual machine, use an _Existing_ virtual hard disk.
