#2I am running IE6, 7 and 8 in parallel on the same windows install. Properly, without IETester and its glitches.
As a web developer, this is a pretty awesome find. Basically, it means that instead of needing to run 3 VirtualBoxes (4, soon), one for each version of IE, I can now run just one, thus saving me a gig of RAM and a lot of performance.

#4I want to know how much Spoon Studio costs so I click the buy button and it wants me to register and login? I clicked around a little more but I couldn't find the cost.
Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Mac either, on my Windows machine though it was really cool to see IE6 pop up!

#5I've been using it for a long time now (for IE6/7) and it is pretty good I must say, a great alternative to IETester.

#6"The Spoon kernel is a lightweight implementation of core operating system APIs, including the filesystem, registry, process, and threading subsystems, completely implemented within the user-mode space, allowing Spoon apps to be executed without any device driver installation or administrative privileges."
Two thoughts:
1. Wow, I cannot imagine how much work it would be to fake all the necessary Windows APIs for this to work.
2. IT managers everywhere should be afraid. Very afraid.

Windows only. But it means you only need one windows machine as opposed to multiple VMs.
