Different IE version for Terminal Server users?

We have a Win2008 Windows terminal server with a bunch of users. A couple of users runs a web based temperature control web application that requires a specific version of Java, and other users need a newer version of IE.
Can I have different version of IE running on the same terminal server?

Your best solution is to virtualize IE so that you can publish various versions to the terminal server.

Sounds like it's still running virtual machines on the same hardware?

It is not a seperate virtual machine, but a virtual application. Allows you to contain all application files, settings, registry entries, dlls, within a virtual package so that these DLL's and settings do not interfere with the base VM.

The document talks about using MED-V, WinXP mode and Terminal Services. We are already using Terminal Services. Isn't WinXP a virtual machine?

No, it is an operating system. Give IETester a try to see if it meets your needs. It is a seperate browser that allows you to have the rendering and javascript engines of IE10, IE9, IE8, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 - users can pick their IE version on the fly.
