On Windows 8, is there any way of running IE8 & 9 besides using rendering mode in IE10 or creating a virtual setup? As with previous versions of IE, IE10 doesn't seem to render 8 and 9 properly. Also tried IE Collection which won't install any of these versions on Windows 8.
I don't believe this is possible due to programmatic differences and dependencies Microsoft creates (for whatever reason). The typical alternatives are to install a Virtual Machine (Microsoft Virtual PC, or VirtualBox, or VmWare Desktop Products) with XP or W7 and have a Virutal Machine for each unique IE version you need.
Update
Anyone using Windows 8, Virtual PC has been renamed to the server version Hyper-V, comes with Windows 8 by default, and is not installed by default.
Update 2
I'd also recommend taking a look at https://www.browserstack.com/. It's a very nice product (I have no affiliation with that company, I've only used the product with much success).

I am trying to run windows software in fedora OS. There option of dual booting. But is there a way of creating a virtual environment, like we create environment for various python project, in which we can run .exe files and use microsoft office softwares (word, excel, etc.)? It's a weird question, but I searched the internet but not able to find it out.
yes, you can easily do so with the help of VmWare or VrtualBox, or any other similar applications.With a virtual machine application like VMware, you can run another operating system inside your current operating system.
It's running an OS inside another OS,also, you can store and run multiple OS (not simultaneously though) with the hep of these virtual machines.

I want to convert my old PC into linux system and use it for Android code development. The resource is very limited (256 MG) memory. Currently, PC is running on XP SP3. What is the available OS for this PC? Currently, I am using a Win8 PC for android development. It seems that I need to download some codes from google web site and all instructions are linux command line based. I may use this old turd as a code repository so that I can study other people codes.
Any suggestions?
I would either recommend Debian if you want a stable distribution or if you need bleeding
edge software Arch Linux.
The wiki of Arch Linux is to my opinion better than the one of Ubuntu and Arch lets you do everything as you want it.
If you need to get started fast you can also go for Xubuntu (http:// xubuntu.org) as it is made for old hardware.
All three should run on your computer. So its just a matter of what you prefer.

File: \windows\system32\boot\winload.exe
Status: 0xc000035a
Info: Attempting to load a 64-bit application, however this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode.
I get this error when i try to install Windows server 2008 x64 via VirtualBox.
I have All Virtual settings enabled in BIOS and my CPU is an Cor i5 vPro, the host system is Windows 7 x64.
Youtube Screen casting of the error
I had the same issue and found a solution.
Open up bios and make sure vt-x is enabled
If it wasnt, you'll need to delete the VM in virtual box and make a new one.. Now you will see an option for windows 7 and windows 7 (64bit).
It was only AFTER i delete and rebuilt the VM did it allow me through. Changing the settings in the existing VM didnt seem to do the trick.

Here is an example. If I built an application in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10, and it can run in this environment well. Now I switch to SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. But I don't rebuild the application, and I directly run it in SUSE11. What's the problem if I do it? If the application can still run, are there any potential problems? Is the performance worse? Many system libraries are different, so I guess maybe there are some problems even if it can run.
There will be problems only if the libraries the application depends on changed their ABI. A typical example is if it uses libpng 1.4, but on the newer system, libpng 1.5 is installed. Since they are incompatible, you will need to rebuild it, or find the appropriate .so file.
If there is no dependency, everything will be fine. The Glibc is always compatible between versions.
You won't know until you try. Install the newer SUSE onto a virtual machine and test-run the application.

I normally have Windows Server on my portable for compatability issues while writing code, that is, i get to develop on a portable server. Now i need to update either to 2008 R2 or Windows 7 64 (any flavor) and i am leaning toward windows 7, but i am unsure the true differences between the to IIS's. I do install several IIS objects, such as ASPEmail, ASPPDF, ASPUpload, Lanapsoft Captcha and a few others. They all work well in 2008 R2 and i am concerned that they may or may not work inside of Windows 7
I'd say you can pretty much replace Vista with Windows 7 and 2008 with 2008 R2 in this article.

The various controls and libraries you mention should almost certainly work as long as you aren't trying to host many concurrent users due to the request limits.
