Answer 1

Use a virtual machine and maintain a separate installation of Windows in it.

Microsoft provide images for this purpose.

You may want to try out the Expression Web SuperPreview, which is a free download from Microsoft and allows comparison of sites between IE6, 7 and 8.

Answer 3

You might want to try IE Collection, which allows you to install lots of different versions of IE in parallel and is available here.

Also, creating virtual machines can be a good idea if you want to set up specific scenarios. If you do this, remember to turn off auto-update on the VMs, or you might find that your IE6 VM has upgraded itself to IE8.

Answer 4

Similar to the Virtual Machine answer, if you have Windows 7, you can use the XP Mode to run IE7.

Using Windows 7’s “XP Mode” to run IE 6, IE 7 and IE8 side-by-side
