Another issue is that the max size of the virtual drives that you can assign to Microsoft's VM is 128 Gigs. Not a restriction for many but it is for me. VMWare also emulates IDE and SCSI drives and for VMWare, the SCSI drives are noticeably faster. In general though, it is six of one, half dozen of the other. John W.

I'm using IE7, so that eliminates two of the files, but what would determine my choice among IE7_VPC.EXE, IE7_VIS1.exe, IE7_VIS2.rar, and IE7_VIS3.rar? My guess is IE7_VPC.EXE, simply because I see "vpc" in this name, and I have no idea what "vis1," "vis2," and "vis3" are. Have I guessed correctly? Okay, if I'm just dumb, I'm just dumb - but it would be nice to really know what I'm looking at and what I'm choosing when I download something. My past week's experience starting to learn about Linux has me very sensitive to the several "Swiss Cheese holes" in my knowledge. I am going to gamble on my guess and go download IE7_VPC.EXE.
