UPDATED: if you are reading Microsoft ..

This is not what the developers want. If there weren’t too many problems, you could make new VPC images available as soon as the old ones expire. Thanks.

Answer 1

It looks like they updated them

From the same page http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyId=21EABB90-958F-4B64-B5F1-73D0A413C8EF&displaylang=en

Windows XP Images These images were last updated on October 13, 2010 and expire on January 11, 2011.

• IE6-on-XPSP3.exe contains Windows XP SP3 with the IE6 VHD file. Expires January 11, 2011

• IE7-on-XPSP3.exe contains Windows XP SP3 with the IE7 VHD file. Expires January 11, 2011

• IE8-on-XPSP3.exe contains Windows XP SP3 with the IE8 VHD file. Expires January 11, 2011

Answer 2

Modern.ie

It seems you need the Microsoft Modern.ie website .

These images are legal since modern.ie is executed by Microsoft.

They provide a wide range of different versions of Windows (XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 8.1) in combination with various versions of Internet Explorer (6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11). (as of 2015-07)

Downloadable files are preconfigured, Windows is already installed and ready-to-use virtual machine image files for several virtualizers ( VirtualBox , Hyper-V , VMware, VPC, Parallels ) on Windows / Mac / Linux hosts.

Answer 3

It seems that they have expired agian, and so far I can not find updated versions. The one that I have installed expires on April 4, and, of course, I can’t accept the event for it to work for an hour.

I really wish the last 6% of my user base are updated with ie6 !!!

Answer 4

New versions are available ending July 26, 2012.
