Hey guys!
So what do you guys use to verify that your website looks cool in both IE7 and IE6 on the same PC?
I have noticed that you can use virtual PC 2004 see msdn blog here: http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/11/30/ie6-and-ie7-running-on-a-single-machine.aspx
Would be great to hear how you all get around this issue, and perhaps there is an easier way than above.

I've heard that this solution works pretty well. Its an installer that lets you create a standalone version of IE7 (or IE6 if you already have IE7 installed). I actually have an old pc that use for IE6 so ive never messed with any of the multiple IE solutions, but ive heard good things about this:
tredosoft.com/IE7_standalone
tredosoft.com/Multiple_IE

- I use this standalone IE7 on my PC for testing with IE6 as the primary browser. it's not 100% compatible, but for layout stuff it does the job.

Thanks Kevin and Andy, useful to know!
Kevin - I'd heard that one of those you listed was no good, as it won't reinact cookie action etc, and the other I am very nervous to download as there is talk that there is maliscious wear attached to the download...eeek!
Maybe VPC2004 is the only way forward, although it apparently bombs out on April the 1st.
I would just like to say that I think Rocket Theme is awesome
) What an amazing community you have.
Cheers

Wow that is good to know Franck!
Would it show much performance impeedence if I was using a workstation (Dual Core Processor 3.20GHz processor, 4096MB RAM)? I know that at times Photoshop can slow down, and is definately is in need of sorting out the fonts to speed up the opening the software, I have been really lazy of late and just then the fonts run riot!!!!!
Maybe I should have a look at this standalone IE7, give it a whirls ;D
Thanks for you advice guys, you have been great!
