Thanks to Virtual PC 2004, I created a little 1GB partition on my data drive (which looks like the “C:” drive to the virtual computer), and then installing Win98SE. That still takes about 20 minutes to do, just like it always did back in the day. So then I go looking for IE55 (not 55SP2, or 55SP1), and had a heck of a time finding that (I did, thanks to FileMirrors.com)
The fun part was when I enabled the hyperthreading under XP, and then assigned the Win98SE VirtPC to the “2nd” cpu.
Good times, good times.
We’ll see now whether or not I actually got 5.5 like I think I did, or if it’s actually something else.
Still, kinda fun. In a sick demented sorta way.
