So you create your beautiful Drupal theme, tweak it to perfection using Firefox and Firebug, send the url to the client, confident of praise and adulation.
Then the dreaded response "I'm looking at it in Internet Explorer 6 and...". As you can't run multiple versions of IE on the same machine, previously I have used old machines running different versions of IE, and tools like LogMeIn to check browser compatibility but now there is a simpler way.
Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer is a free stand-alone visual debugging tool that makes it faster and easier to migrate your sites from Internet Explorer 6 to Internet Explorer 7 or 8. With Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer, you can ensure that your Web sites work correctly in Internet Explorer 8 while also maintaining compatibility with earlier versions of Internet Explorer.
Expression Web SuperPreview for Internet Explorer shows your web pages rendered in Internet Explorer 6 and either Internet Explorer 7 or Internet Explorer 8, depending on which version you have installed on your machine. You can view the pages side by side or as an onion-skin overlay and use rulers, guides and zoom/pan tools to precisely identify differences in layout. You can even compare your page comp to how the targeted browsers render the page.

Just preview only ?

Actually, you CAN run multiple IEs
This is an old project and it is no longer maintained, but it allows you to run multiple versions of IEs, down to version 5.5:

Sounds like a useful option,
Sounds like a useful option, but prone to breaking when MS issues patches.
Also we dont tend to go back further than IE6
Thanks
This looks handy. Can't wait to check it out. Too bad they didn't release it in 2002. Might have saved us all a lot blood, sweat, and tears!

2002 wouldn't have done much
2002 wouldn't have done much good. IE7 didn't come out until Oct 2006.
