For example, when you use the File/Save dialog in IE6 it interfaces with system shell components that are not backward compatible from Win7 to XP. Our initial attempts to resolve the IE6 / Windows 7 issue focused on using IETabs because while virtualizing the IE6’s rendering engine was easy for ThinApp, completely virtualizing the browser frame and everything it can do was a bit harder. This was very popular with our customers in the process of migrating to Windows 7.
