I remember reading a post from Norman Palardy that contained a link to Windows test VM. Of course now I cannot find it back.
I also wondered if the same disks existed in other languages. On Mac I can launch my app in all languages it supports with Language Switcher, but on Windows there seem to be no such option, so I will have to run each language version of Windows.
I use the Internet Explorer images to run testing on old OS:es.

Hmmm… I now see that they have scrapped their IE6 XP images…
But you are right about different languages. Windows 10 is OK since you can download various languages into the installation. Windows 7 is trickier. My company is member of the Microsoft Partner Network and a subset of languages are available to download from there.
If you can’t remember this, just search for “modernIE”
