I have received good service from the ie11-win7 one.

After the grace period expires, you can boot the VM and it will
run for 30 minutes, before shutting down without warning (dirty shutdown).
You'll notice background color changes, a few minutes before it abruptly dies.
It will operate this way, forever. (It is not activated.)

This allows running in a 32-bit environment, and using some old
16-bit program you might have.

You can boot the VM for 30 minutes, as many times in one day as you
would want. Try not to upset the jiggler inside the OS, with regard
to hardware resources, as if you do that, it could stop booting.
It may not like, for example, updating of the VirtualBox Guest Additions
all that much. You should attempt to make any changes you want, during
the grace period. Making changes when it is in "30 minute mode",
could have consequences.

There are various claims (like on the Microsoft download page) about
the Win10 one. I didn't feel inclined to test the living shit out
of that one. Not worth it.

But I did like the behavior of the Win7 one. I was running a copy
of mingw32 in there, and doing compiles with it.

By keeping a separate copy from your "archive" copy, if
anything happens while you are figuring out what "30 minutes"
means, then nothing will be damaged, because your archive copy
is not damaged. I always copy the archive machine, to the runtime folder
and run it from there.

Thirty minutes is not enough time for the final section
of WSUSOffline, and I'm not even sure that is a good idea
anyway, because the activation logic might not like it. I don't
think mine is patched up all that far. I have definitely patched
up other VMs, but... they were within the 30 day grace period.
