At least Firefox and IE6 and IE7.

Testing IE6, can be a real pain if you have ie7 installed as you have to remove ie 7. Microsoft’s solution has been to install a virtual machine and run ie6 on that. Having been through the process I can assure you it’s a real pain in the arse….

My own solution was to use IEtester, a free browser, that allows you to run windows of IE8 RC1, IE7 IE 6 and IE5.5 on Vista and XP.

At time I have found it to be a little bit buggy, but I have made really good use of it and highly recommend it!

Today the options may have change though as Microsoft release Super Preview.

I am currently installing it and will update you when I have something to share.

The 250 mb download is a lot larger, than IETester’s 24 Mb, but we’ll have to see whether it’s worth it or not :)
