Yeah, it's stupid. From their presentation: "This is a post exploitation type attack, that requires administrator level privileges." By then you're owned so who cares?

Windows doesn't support multiple versions of IE on the same machine without some hackery. But, if you're a Windows user and poor, Microsoft provides free virtual machines to test IE 6, 7, and 8. The images might work on other VMs too. Vir
